What the Leeds fans said

“Fingers crossed Victor can get this deal done in January. You optimistic?” @OHelleland

“That does nothing for us, we need him now [prospect of loaning back].” @rexbox82

“If they don’t accept this, we just need to up it once more and he’s ours imo.” @LufcCalum

“Think it’s on this one, if the player wants it.” @Deano86264187

“Think the player has got to force this one. That would be the game changer I hope!” @BradleyR1919

“I wouldn’t be surprised if the agreement is to loan him straight back due to their Champions League commitments.” @Wesley95475528

“Top quality player and he’s still young if we can get him in I think it will show Leeds mean business” @GaryKeys19

Aaronson has been key to Salzburg this season, helping them qualify from a tough Champions League group that featured Sevilla, Wolfsburg and Lille – he played every minute bar five in the group stage.

At just 21-years-old, this could be a very smart signing by Marcelo Bielsa and Leeds. He has incredible experience at such a young age with those Champions League games under his belt, so he could be an important player to Leeds for years to come you’d feel.
