Tottenham have been linked with a move for Max Aarons for much of this summer after Norwich’s relegation from the Premier League.
The young Englishman is one of the most impressive members of the Canaries first team and there is plenty of interest in him.
Tottenham needs to sign a new right-back in this transfer window after allowing Kyle Walker-Peters to join Southampton on a permanent deal.
Serge Aurier remains the club’s only right – back at the moment, however, the Ivorian is also available for transfer at the right price and he has a variety of clubs interested in his services.
AC Milan has a long-standing interest in Aurier and the Italians have now been joined in his chase by Bayer Leverkusen.
Should Tottenham sell the Ivorian or not, chances are that they will sign a new full-back, but Aarons might not be the one.
This is because the Athletic claims that Jose Mourinho is having second thoughts about signing the Englishman.
It claims that Mourinho has had a look at him and thinks that he might struggle to produce the kind of performances that he wants from his right back.
Aarons is still very young at 20 and he is one that can be developed further, but Spurs need to win trophies and they might not have the time to be patient with him.
