Paxten Aaronson will head to the Dutch Eredivisie with hopes of earning consistent playing time.
Aaronson has joined Vitesse Arnhem on loan for the remainder of the current season, the club announced. The 20-year-old joined Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2022 from the Philadelphia Union, but has struggled to feature regularly for the Bundesliga side.
“I hope to make the necessary minutes to be so important to the team,” Aaronson said in a club interview. “The club, the city, the people: it feels good to be here! We are going to fight together for Vitesse.”
Aaronson has made seven league appearances and 14 combined appearances for Frankfurt this season. A former U.S. Under-20 men’s national team standout, Aaronson has registered three assists in 22 appearances (542 minutes played) for the Super Eagles.
A move to Vitesse should help Aaronson get back to playing regularly ahead of a potential busy summer on the international level. Aaronson, who made his senior USMNT debut in January 2023, is eligible to be part of the 2024 Olympic roster this summer.
Vitesse has struggled for majority of the current Eredivisie campaign, sitting bottom of the table and seven points from safety. They are also involved in February’s KNVB Cup quarterfinals.
