Paxten Aaronson: The Eintracht Frankfurt signing who could one day replace Daichi Kamada

Paxten Aaronson is set to join Eintracht Frankfurt this winter. Gegenpressing profiles the US talent and projects that he could one day replace Daichi Kamada.

Eintracht Frankfurt have done it again, finding a young talented gem in an unlikely place. As first reported by Transfermarkt, the Eagles have signed Paxten Aaronson from Major League Soccer side Philadelphia Union for a fee of €4 million plus incentives. That transfer is agreed on and Aaronson is expected to complete his medical as early as this week.

For now, Aaronson will be known as the little brother of Brenden Aaronson, who was nominated to the US men’s national team squad on Wednesday. But while Paxten is the lesser known of the two, for now, Frankfurt may have just unearthed a real diamond.

Leeds United star Aaronson is often labeled the Medford Messi back in the United States. Signed for €12.7m by Red Bull Salzburg from Major League Soccer side Philadelphia Union, die roten Bullen have since cashed in on Brenden, last summer selling him for €32.84m to Leeds.
