Since their departure in the summer, Leeds United’s loanees have had a mixed experience. Following relegation, a number of the Whites‘ first-team players left the club, with two already securing permanent deals abroad. Robin Koch signed a four year contract with Eintracht Frankfurt in January, and Luis Sinisterra joined Bournemouth on a long-term contract worth roughly £20 million earlier this month. However, for some, their future remains uncertain, and there is still work to be done if they wish to leave Leeds permanently, like Brenden Aaronson, who scored his first goal at club level since August 2023 at the weekend. But that hasn’t stopped Union Berlin director Oliver Ruhnert from telling him where he has to improve, as analyst Derek Rae reported on X earlier this week. Aaronson explained where he needs to improve. He stated, “With Brenden, it boils down to the essential theme. Brenden is a terrific footballer who must recognize that in football, a certain physical aspect is required to win the ball and battle challenges. These statements will come as no surprise to Leeds fans, and it is certainly not the first time he has faced such criticism in the recent 18-24 months.
