# Tottenham: Spurs enter transfer race for Max Aarons

**According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-make-approach-to-sign-aarons-as-gentlemans-agreement-over-transfer-revealed/), Tottenham have entered the race to sign Max Aarons.**

### **Spurs eye Aarons**

The 21-year-old recently earned promotion back to the Premier League with Norwich City.

According to this report, the Canaries agreed with the right-back last summer that he could depart in one year’s time. Everton are also interested in Aarons, with Norwich looking for a fee of £30m to part ways with the youngster.

### **Worth it?**

Aarons has been virtually an ever-present this season for Daniel Farke’s side, playing 44 matches in the Championship out of a possible 45 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-aarons/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/471690)). During that time, he has managed [two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/max-aarons/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/471690) goals and four assists, while former England under-21 manager Aidy Boothroyd called him “outstanding” last October ([The Pink Un](https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/england-u21s-boss-praises-canaries-star-6395008)).

However, Tottenham already have plenty of options at right-back. Serge Aurier has [had his problems](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/tottenham-serge-aurier-man-city-23980118), but he has shown promise this season and illustrated his attacking threat with [two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/3429831) against Sheffield United on Sunday. Matt Doherty, meanwhile, was only signed from Wolves last summer – even if he has [failed to nail down](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matt-doherty/leistungsdaten/spieler/171679) a first team spot, he still deserves time to do so.

For £30m, Aarons’ signature would represent a significant outlay, and those funds could be put to better use elsewhere.
