Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has been speaking on Chris Cowlin’s YouTube channel to discuss potential summer arrivals at Tottenham Hotspur.
One name which Romano brought up was Norwich City defender Max Aarons, who has been linked with a potential switch to the north London club in past windows.
Would you like Max Aarons to join Spurs?
Yes
No
The Canaries have been promoted to the Premier League ahead of next season having won the 2020/21 Championship.
However, the club has admitted they are open to selling any of their players if the right price is put forward for the individuals.
The £18m-rated defender made 45 appearances in the 2020/21 Championship campaign and added two goals and five assists to his name in those games (via Transfermarkt).
Discussing Tottenham’s interest in the right-back, Romano had the following to say on the matter:
“I would also keep an eye on a situation of right-backs. Let’s see what Tottenham will decide, because they want to go with a new right-back. Let’s see what kind of player they want to sign.
“There are a lot of clubs interested in Max Aarons from Norwich, but he could be an opportunity also for Tottenham, so I would keep an eye on his name because it could be an opportunity for many clubs, and also for Tottenham.
“And let’s see, but for the players, you need to wait for the [new] manager, of course.”
TIF Thoughts on Romano’s comments…
The reported interest in Aarons from Spurs would make a great deal of sense given their defensive struggles experienced in the 2020/21 campaign.
Recently, Serge Aurier has admitted he would be open to a move away from Spurs this summer and Matt Doherty has failed to live up to expectations in his first season with Tottenham.
Aarons already has a season of Premier League experience under his belt, however, Spurs remain without a permanent manager who may come in with his own transfer targets. Therefore, it is unclear, as Romano suggests, whether their previous interest in the full-back will resurface.
