5 year deal signed, subject to work permit and international clearance which should not be a problem.
Fee just short of £25million (29million Euros). At least VO is starting earlier this year. Need new players in before preseason and the Oz tour not at the end of August!
Only 21 but with nearly 150 senior games behind him, the "Medford Messi” has also played 12 games in the CL.
2 footed, decent turn of pace, great engine, not afraid to put himself about, create chances, scores goals. Could he be an upgrade on Rafa?
I am sure he is ready for the Prem and look forward to seeing him in the Famous White Shirt.
Cannot believe we got this lad! Never stops running and chases lost causes with some success
Now this is a class signing. Well done VO!
Finally we have got the creative player we have needed after Pablo‘s legs got tired. Yes, Pablo was different and different class, but Aronsson adds so much speed and skills to our team. Perfect signing.
Is this guy for real? Lets enjoys him whilst he is here. A top CL side will com for him in the summer.
IMO worth £75 million
.
Looks a proper player!

Move aside Douglas Bader with your three testicles - it's time for a new flyboy hero on this MB.
Guy Gibson and his spambusters equipped with their bump bombs
.
Havent heard too much about how our yanks fared during the international break. Anyone hear anything?
Cannot help to love this lad!! Says he wants to be a LUFC legend. Guess he'll be gone by 2024 to a CL club!
spam bump
Probably worth £50 million now and still only 21. Well done VO and JM!
He is already worth £60 million+. What a signing
OMG Cannot believe he is only 21!! Will be worth over £100million in a couple of years time
Agreed Smurf.
It does look like the Barca deal is over "if" media reports can be believed, and for me i think Rapha might be just taking stock until the WC is over.
A mid table leeds in November (or higher) will almost certainly get him on the plane and possibly a starting jersey if his form and energy levels remain high.
Kalvin will be on the plane for England and again reading the gossip his extension of contract at leeds will be signed this / next week.
If Kalvin & Rapha both stay then the Board will deserve massive credit for stabilizing the squad and for me the other players (harrision, dallas, etc) that might be tempted away from ER will definitely think again.
If Jesse has brought a fresh voice to the dressing room and the players have bought into his philosophy of play then why would anyone leave now? The second year in the PL is always difficult and we overcame everything that was thrown at us including all the injuries to key men in the spine of our squad we still survived. I think it bolds well and if we can have a decent pre-season along with a few fresh faces in the dressing room we can be bullish about the future and about PL survival again next season
If anyone is offering 12th next May i'll take it now....
MOT
I'm not so sure Raph will be leaving. The Barcelona deal looks like a busted flush. I think we should be aiming to retain Raph, Phillips and Harrison. We aren't under any pressure to sell. If we can add a powerhouse midfielder alongside the more seasoned u23s who made the breakthrough last season, then I'd be feeling good about this coming year.
Will we also now complete the clickbait rumoured midfield signing of who Beilsa wanted in January - Luka Ivanusec?
Welcome BA hope you have a long and illustrious career in the Famous White Shirt.
Know absolutely nothing other than what ive read in the media but on paper it does look like we have signed a decent player, now is he a PL player well time will reveal all on that score.
Definitely need cover up top along side Paddy and will need 2 up front players if the rumors that Bamford is going to Newcastle, also need a shot stopper in case anything happens young Mesilier. Also Bill wont last the full season so another signing will be needed there.
Overall i think we need 3-4 new signings over and above the number of players that may leave, i think we all accept that Rapha is going, Jack is being linked with a move (barcodes) as is Kalvin (city) if nobody else goes thats 7 new faces for the team to blend in and get to know the Jesse system.
Yes this signing was known for months now but i agree its nice to get it over the line now if the next deal is done as quick id be impressed.
Geat to see that we have finally completed a signing early. Now it is time to do some research on who and what type of player we are getting.
