According to a report from Sky Sports Germany, Arsenal have alerted Norwich about their interest in Max Aarons.

The Gunners could be forced to bring in a new right full-back this summer, with the report claiming that Hector Bellerin is ready to leave the club at the end of this season.

The Spaniard is Arsenal’s vice-captain and the thought of him leaving 18 months ago would have been unimaginable.

However, a serious knee injury has kept Bellerin on the sidelines for most of this season. That could tempt Arsenal to cash in, especially if a club like Bayern Munich come in with a good offer.

If Bellerin does leave, Aarons would be a very exciting signing. The young Englishman has had an impressive debut campaign in the Premier League and has caught the attention of a number of big clubs.

The report claims that the Canaries will demand a fee in the region between £22.3 million and £26.8 million for their star defender this summer which should not be a problem for the Gunners; especially if they get a good fee for Bellerin.

Some Arsenal fans would love for Bellerin to stay but feel that Aarons would be an upgrade on the Spaniard and they would love to have him at the Emirates next season.

Here is how a few of them reacted on Twitter:
