The future is bright for the USMNT, boasting a deep well of talent across the United States. Hence, the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris will be crucial to understand where they are headed next. But one player who has slipped under the radar and could be the one to watch out for is Paxten Aaronson. The player may not have the best season in club soccer but attracted eyeballs when he helped the USA Under-20 win the CONCACAF U20 Cup in 2022 scoring seven goals.

However, it is less known that his family has a deep attachment to sport, which might have rubbed off on the 20-year-old. While his brother Brenden is already a reputed star in Europe and represented the USMNT, even their previous generations are involved with the beautiful game. Therefore, let’s explore who these amazing influencers of the star are, apart from his dating life.

Looking at the deeper sibling bond between Paxten Aaronson and Brenden  Aaronson

Fans will be astonished to know that Paxten is the brother of Leeds United star Brenden Anderson. Brenden the oldest of three siblings was born on Oct 22, 2000, in Medford, New Jersey. Although both took up soccer at a young age, Brenden moved to Europe in 2021 to represent RB Salzburg from Philadelphia Union II and won the Austrian Bundesliga twice. Subsequently, the younger brother followed him to the continent and joined the German club Eintracht Frankfurt. However, Brenden is under contract with the EFL Championship side Leeds United but spent his time with German giants Union Berlin on loan for the 2023-24 season.

Meanwhile, the brothers share a deep bond on and off the field. While the banter persists despite living far apart, they motivate each other to improve. But the elder brother made it to the USMNT a few years earlier and was a part of the squad that went to Qatar in 2022.

Nonetheless, Brenden will not just be cheering for the Stars and Stripes in the 2024 Games but will expect his brother to stand out in the competition. Brenden will be joined by his soccer-crazy family too.
