Brenden Aaronson could be the missing piece of the Leeds United jigsaw according to Tony Cascarino. The former Aston Villa and Chelsea striker believes the Whites have been missing a 'proper attacking midfielder.'
Jesse Marsch side wasted no time in bringing the American to Elland Road, after a few months of speculation. The 21-year-old has been tipped for a big future at Leeds, but they'll have to combat the loss of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha.
The Whites new arrivals have impressed in pre-season, but they'll get their baptism of fire this weekend when they take on Wolves at Elland Road. Leeds will be hoping to get off to a good start as they look to avoid a repeat of last season, where they survived on the final day.

Speaking to the Times, Cascarino said: "The Leeds manager Jesse Marsch has made three signings from former clubs of his and the arrival of the 21-year-old Aaronson is the biggest. For a while I have felt Leeds have lacked a proper attacking midfielder so the American should fill the gap.
"His presence will give Leeds a different dynamic. They have had plenty of players occupy that position but those have tended to be defensive midfielders or wingers by trade."
