Champions League - Group C - 1. FC Union Berlin v NapoliThe Leeds United player is currently out on loan with the Bundesliga outfit, where he has made just five starts from 18 appearances in the league this campaign.

The American came off the bench on Saturday to secure all three points for his team with an 84th minute strike away to Hoffenheim.

This result moved Berlin up to 13th in the table, eight points clear of the relegation play-off place.

It was his first league goal for the club, who have themselves struggled to replicate their top four form of last year.

Speaking to Bild after the game, Aaronson claimed that a lack of game time has been something he’s had to adjust to, having previously earned a lot of minutes at other clubs.

The 23-year-old believes this has been a big reason for why his performances haven’t been up to the standard expected of him when he joined during the summer.

“I had to be patient,” said Aaronson, via Sport Witness.

“But I kept working, went to the gym and practiced shooting after every training session.

“I don’t want that to sound cliché, but I’ve always played a lot.

“That’s why it was difficult to sit on the bench.

“I can create a lot of chances with my style of play, I want to build on that and hopefully contribute many more goals and assists.”

It remains to be seen whether Aaronson has a long-term future at Elland Road, with the player set to return to the Yorkshire outfit in the summer.Champions League - Group C - 1. FC Union Berlin v Napoli

The league status of Leeds may play a role in determining Aaronson’s next step in his career, with Daniel Farke’s side chasing promotion straight back to the top flight.
