# Exclusive: Ex-Norwich star braced for bids for £30m star

**Former Norwich City star Jon Newsome insists there will be bidders for Max Aarons this summer, in an exclusive interview with [The Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/).**

The right-back has been in exceptional form for the Canaries this season.

Aarons has made [45 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-aarons/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/471690) in the Championship, with Norwich comfortably winning the second-tier title.

He has subsequently been linked with a move away; [The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-aarons-b1835774.html) reports that there is interest from West Ham United and Everton in a potential swoop.

Aarons is just 21 and he has already totted up [130 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-aarons/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/471690) for the Canaries, even playing in the Premier League last term.

He seems certain to return to the top-flight ahead of the beginning of the 2021/22 season, be it with Norwich or another English club.

Newsome thinks there will be bids for the star and it leaves the club with a dilemma they will have to solve should a big-money bid be tabled.

He told **TT**: *“Max Aarons, the number of games he’s played for such a young lad is amazing and he’s learning his craft.*

*“He’ll be really, really keen to be playing Premier League football so I expect clubs to sniff around him. Norwich City have got a decision to make.*

*“They either slam the door in somebody’s face, firmly shut, and we have no conversation or if the numbers are right, will they be tempted? It’s a big, big question.”*
