Despite failing to secure a return to the Premier League last season, Leeds could soon lure another top-flight player to Elland Road, shortly after Manor Solomon arrives from Tottenham Hotspur.
The Whites have identified the 24-year-old right-back as their next target ahead of the transfer deadline, while the deal for Solomon is now nearing completion.
According to TEAMtalk, Leeds are now ‘confident’ of reuniting Aarons with manager Daniel Farke, who worked with the English defender during his time at Norwich City and won two promotions to the Premier League.
The Elland Road outfit have reignited their interest in Aarons after he snubbed a summer move to Leeds last year and instead opted to sign for Bournemouth on a long-term deal.
Twelve months later, the Cherries are now prepared to let the 24-year-old go, with several clubs in England and Italy reportedly keeping an eye on his availability.
