Everton are monitoring Norwich City defender Max Aarons ahead of a move in the January transfer window, according to Eurosport.

The Toffees have already raided the Canaries once to sign talented player Ben Godfrey and could now reunite the ace with Aarons.

Everton are looking for a long-term solution for their right-back spot and feel Aarons is the solution.

The 20-year-old is enjoying a strong season with Norwich, starting every game with the club sat top of the Championship.

Last season he made 36 Premier League appearances as the Canaries endured a nightmare season in the top flight.

Aarons was linked with a move to Barcelona during the summer and it is thought the player is valued at £30 million.

That fee is likely to put Everton off, however, according to the report and other targets are also being identified.

The Toffees do like Aarons though and he would be an attractive signing for the club.

At 20-years-old he boasts lots of first-team experience and his energy levels would surely benefit Carlo Ancelotti’s team.

With Norwich sat top of the table it seems unlikely that Daniel Farke will want to sell a prized asset in January.

Money talks though and if Everton do decide to make their interest concrete, they could be powerless.

TBR View – Success of Godfrey should prompt Everton to take action

Godfrey has proved a decent signing since checking in from Carrow Road.

He can fill in anywhere across the back four and his versatility has proved a key attribute.

Aarons could have a similar impact and he could become Everton’s right-back for years to come.

It would be another astute piece of business by the Toffees who shopped well during the summer.

Aarons defends well, gets forward to assist attacks and is also extremely quick.

Ancelotti could hit the jackpot with the signing of another Norwich City performer.
