# Exclusive: Everton tipped to make move for right-back target this summer

**Former Everton star Michael Ball has told [The Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/) that the club will have to pay through the nose to sign Norwich City right-back Max Aarons this summer.**

The Toffees have been heavily linked with a potential summer move for the England U21 international.

Aarons has been in brilliant form for Norwich thus far this season, as the club have won the Championship title at a canter.

He has made [45 Championship appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-aarons/profil/spieler/471690) this season, scoring two goals and laying on five assists.

[The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-aarons-b1835774.html) have reported that Everton are keen on a swoop, and that he would cost around £30m to sign this summer.

Ball believes that Carlo Ancelotti’s side have been tracking Aarons for some time, and will have to make a decision on whether they are willing to invest heavily to bring him in, as a long-term replacement for Seamus Coleman, or sign a budget option.

He told **TT**: *“I think Everton have come quite strongly for Max Aarons. I feel they’ve probably been looking at Max Aarons for the last 18 months or so, wanted to bring him to the football club.*

*“Norwich, rightly so, want top dollar. Everton need to try to figure out how they’re going to prioritise that position and whether they’re going to look at a cheaper option for the next year or two years.”*
