Probably comes from a town called Messi
Actually sounds like a cracking talent so if it's true could be a ideal signing.
There's a great article about him on The Athletic tonight, I wish I could just copy the entire article and post it but that's kinda wrong, here's a quote from it though:
The Athletic wrote:At the moment, that kind of pressing is probably Aaronson’s best quality. Whether he’s playing at the tip of the diamond for Salzburg or on the wing for the U.S., Aaronson consistently makes a huge impact without the ball.
Here's a quick summary of points from the article:
He's not had it easy becoming a professional footballer, was viewed as too small for most of his youth and young career to date until very recently, so has had to fight harder against bigger lads to get recognized and as a result has a really good attitude and work ethic.
Had his breakthrough year at Philadelphia Union in 19/20, moved to RB Salzburg in 2020 and scored five goals with five assists in 20 league games, with another two goals in three cup games.
Currently key player in RB Salzburg's Champions League squad.
Sounds like he's carving himself out a spot in the USMNT as well, so gaining international experience.
His pressing is one of his key strengths and he is "clearly off the charts, running wise" according to one of his coaches.
Can play 10, Right Wing and Centre Forward.
Sounds like he might be a better fit at 10 than Rodrigo.
