Weston McKennie and Brenden Aaronson, currently on loan at Leeds United, both picked talented Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah as the USMNT player they’d like to see move to the club. The 20-year-old has been linked with a return to the Premier League with several clubs, including Arsenal, expressing an interest. Musah has been a bright spot in a bleak season for Valencia, showcasing his versatility as a midfielder who can play in holding or box-to-box roles, as well as on the wing.
Musah played with McKennie and Tyler Adams during the USMNT’s World Cup campaign in Qatar in December, impressing Jesse Marsch, who called him “outstanding”. Musah has 100 appearances for Valencia and has proven his value for his country on multiple occasions, making him the sort of young, experienced player Leeds love. With relegation looming over Valencia, Musah moving to England in the summer transfer window is more than likely.
