According to Sky Sports, Tottenham Hotspur target Max Aarons would cost the club £30m if they were to make an official move for the Norwich City defender.
The report claims that Spurs have retained an interest in the full-back, but they face competition for him.
So what have the Spurs faithful made of the fee quoted for the young defender after the news was relayed on Twitter by Hotspur Related?

He was absolutely superb against us, but he hasn’t been that good for the majority of the season.

What do we think?
Right-back has been a problem position for Spurs ever since Kieran Trippier left for Atletico Madrid. Of course, Kyle Walker-Peter’s could have been a long-term solution when he first burst onto the scene but as time has gone by, it’s become evident that the club are in desperate need of a top-quality full-back.
An upgrade on Serge Aurier is a must if Spurs are going to return to challenging at the top of the table under Jose Mourinho as he continues to attract criticism, but the acquisition of Max Aarons would come with a significant element of risk.
The England Under-21 international has been one of a few positives from Norwich City’s largely miserable season so far and would be a promising signing for whoever eventually wins the race for his signature.
