Leeds United have made a lot of new additions to the first team this summer. And a former player has given one current player some tips on how to win over the fanbase.
Some new signings have hit the ground running like Tarik Muharemovic and James Trafford.
This Leeds side have had an impressive start to the season; they have only lost one game so far. They have picked up incredible results against Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Brentford.
Outside strengthening the first team during the window, the club renewed contracts of key players.
Ethan Ampadu, Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon and Brenden Aaronson have all signed new contracts to stay at Elland Road.

Aaronson’s new deal caused some division among the Leeds United fanbase.
Some think he should not have been given a new deal, while others agree with the club’s decision. Last year, the midfielder was a big contributor to staying up in the league – scoring four goals and providing five assists.
Former Leeds winger Jermaine Pennant has advised Brenden Aaronson to win the fans over by doing his best on the pitch.
“That’s Leeds through and through. And that’s what the fans expect and demand.” he told GOAL.
“You don’t have to be Lionel Messi but if you’ve got the work rate, the heart and the desire, they will appreciate that, and make you know that they appreciate that. That’s all they ask for.
“They understand that Leeds United, they’re not going to have the 125 million signings here and there, but the least a player can do when they put on a Leeds shirt is, you don’t need skill, just run around, tackle, work hard. That’s just being a good professional, a good heart for the club.”

Brenden Aaronson is a very useful first team player
The midfielder will split opinion at Elland Road, but he is a great player to have in and around the first team.
Aaronson is not a consistent starter now and Daniel Farke can use him in a variety of ways. Last season, Aaronson played in midfield, on the wing and even behind the striker.
He also has great work rate and gives his all every time he plays.
Brenden Aaronson also pops up with goals when the team need him; such a player is invaluable at the Premier League level. If he continues to play how he did last year, he will remain around the club for a long time.
