Leeds are short of alternatives and The Athletic understands that the club have been following Rasmus Kristensen, another RB Salzburg asset.
Kristensen, 24 and a Denmark international, has been at Salzburg since 2019, the same summer that Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch joined the Austrian side as head coach. The pair worked together for two years and Kristensen, like Aaronson, is widely expected to move on from Salzburg before the start of the 2022-23 term. Borussia Dortmund are keen on him and Brentford have been linked with him in the past fortnight. Kristensen, who would cost about £10m, is on international duty ahead of Denmark’s Nations League games.
Leeds have spent time closely tracking a different right-back, Aberdeen’s 18-year-old prospect Calvin Ramsay, but he is wanted by Liverpool and Leeds know there is a high likelihood of Ramsay opting for Anfield over Elland Road. Discussions, meanwhile, are ongoing about whether or not to recruit a more experienced second-choice goalkeeper as cover for Illan Meslier. Leeds have youngster Kristoffer Klaesson as back-up for Meslier but they explored a loan deal for West Ham United’s Darren Randolph in January and are pondering the idea of increasing their choice of keepers.
