Willy Gnonto, Joel Piroe react to Leeds United star Brenden Aaronson’s message
Brenden Aaronson caught the attention of Leeds United stars around the world with a new message on social media.
The 24-year-old remains a controversial figure at Elland Road despite his performances this season, notching nine goals and two assists, yet he is still a scapegoat for many fans.
With Daniel Farke‘s side winning promotion to the Premier League last season, there have been concerns over the capability of the current squad, and Football Insider understands that Leeds could have £150million to spend this summer.
Business has already begun in North Yorkshire, with Lukas Nmecha arriving from Wolfsburg on a free transfer, but even that has been met with mixed reactions from the fanbase.
Football Insider also understands that Leeds have opened talks to sign Alex Moreno, with Junior Firpo set to leave Elland Road for a return to Real Betis at the end of his contract.

Taking to Instagram (17 June), Aaronson wrote: “Gold Cup so far,” gaining likes from Leeds exit-bound full-back Junior Firpo, Willy Gnonto, and Joel Piroe away from Elland Road.
Daniel Farke requires investment to survive the Premier League
Football Insider verdict
The current squad is unlikely to survive a single campaign in the Premier League as it is, but that could all change if 49ers Enterprises are willing to support the manager in the transfer market.
Illan Meslier has failed to convince in the Championship, making far too many goal-costing errors in between the sticks, and Aaron Ramsdale has now been linked with a move to Elland Road.
However, Football Insider understands that Graham Potter’s West Ham could now seal Ramsdale’s signature this summer, with the Hammers also requiring a rebuild this summer.
Farke’s previous attempts to play Premier League football have, ultimately, ended in defeat and embarrassment with Norwich City, but that was without proper backing in the transfer windows.
Paraag Marathe has openly backed the German ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, fighting back against all the rumours of a replacement this summer, and he looks to be Leeds’ man next term.
That could all be in vain if the Whites are not able to secure safety in the top tier of English football, but there is a long time between now and the end of next season.
