  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Aaronson joined the German club on loan after spending just one season at Leeds United. He completed the move after Leeds got relegated to the Championship at the end of the 2022-23 season. The youngster had initially found it hard to adjust to the new conditions and found himself on the fringes of the first team at Union, but has turned things around recently, starting in the club's last three matches.

• WHAT BRENDEN AARONSON SAID

  In a chat with , Aaronson revealed that he is enjoying his time in the Bundesliga and is open to the possibility of joining Union on a permanent transfer ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

  The United States men's national team forward said: "I can see myself remaining here. The club is amazing. it’s not up to me at the end of the day but I have so much respect for Union, the way it has been built, the staff, it’s an amazing family club and they’ve done an amazing job. For me, it’s (about) making the right decision in the summer, evaluating the year and going from there. Staying is an option but I can’t say much more."

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The 23-year-old also said that he is still closely watching Leeds' matches as they seek an immediate return to the Premier League. Daniel Farke's side are sat third in the Championship table after 41 games, with Leicester and Ipswich currently occupying the automatic promotion spots, and a 2-1 defeat against Coventry last time out came as a major blow to their hopes of bouncing straight back into the top-flight.

  Aaronson added: "I’ve been paying close attention to Leeds, I know a lot of the guys, I get on with a lot of them, they are good guys. I’ve been paying attention because they’ve been having a fantastic season so it’s been great to watch. They just need to keep pushing because they’ve got good things coming their way at the end of the season."
