Manchester City enter race for Norwich City starlet Max Aarons but Tottenham Hotspur need him more

Manchester City are the latest club to take an interest in Norwich City youngster Max Aarons, according to TEAMtalk.

Aarons has burst onto the scene this season and The Daily Mirror has previously reported that Tottenham Hotspur are vying with Arsenal and Chelsea for his signature.

The same report suggests that promotion-chasing Norwich have slapped a £15m price tag on their prize asset to fend off the vultures.

The 19-year-old only made his debut this season but he has become an established regular for the Canaries, playing 33 matches.

Aarons has been praised for both his defensive and attacking work from right-back; with three goals, five assists, 51 tackles and 54 clearances (via Who Scored).

The England under-19 international is the complete modern day full-back and he has the potential to become a top level player in the near future.

But Man City’s interest makes it tough for Norwich to keep him and gives Tottenham a much harder task in trying to sign the youngster.

However, Spurs need Aarons more than Man City do. Kieran Trippier’s patchy form and Serge Aurier’s unpredictable indiscipline make right-back a priority this summer.

If Tottenham could win the race for Aarons, they could have their long-term solution wrapped up in the right-back department.
