Max Aarons ‘walks out of Leeds medical’ to join Bournemouth in mad transfer saga

Leeds have reportedly fallen foul to another late transfer hijack with Max Aarons sensationally ‘walking out of a medical’ to join Bournemouth. The Championship side had an agreement in place with Norwich and the full-back to sign Aarons in a deal worth £12million.

Leeds had already secured the signing of Joe Rodon on loan from Tottenham with Daniel Farke keen to bolster his defensive line further with the signing of Aarons. Farke worked with Aarons during the manager’s time at Norwich and gave the full-back his senior debut.

With an agreement in place, Aarons headed to Elland Road to complete his medical ahead of a move to Leeds. But transfer insider Pete O’Rourke claims Aarons ‘walked out of the medical’ at Leeds to travel down south to Bournemouth.

In a wild turn of events, Aarons is now expected to join Bournemouth in the next 24 hours.

The move has reportedly left Leeds stunned as Farke had his heart set on a reunion with Aarons. The Whites had already bolstered their right-back position by signing Aarons’ former team-mate Sam Byram on a free transfer.

Ethan Ampadu has also joined Farke’s defensive revolution at Leeds with the centre-back signing from Chelsea. But Leeds missing out on Aarons at the last minute will bring up bad memories for Leeds from years gone by.

Their most famous transfer saga came in January 2019 when it looked as though they were going to secure the signing of Dan James from Swansea.

James had travelled up to Leeds to complete his medical and had even conducted interviews with in-house media as well as taking photos with his new top.

But Leeds were left stunned when Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins reneged on the agreement at the 11th hour.

The decision left Leeds and James enraged as both parties thought everything had been signed.
