Tottenham Hotspur are keen to sign Norwich City’s Max Aarons, with the future of some of their players up in the air.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho could axe both Serge Aurier and Kyle Walker-Peters to bring in Max Aarons from Norwich CIty, according to the Daily Mail.
Aurier has been Mourinho’s first choice right-back at Tottenham since he arrived, but he has failed to convince defensively.
Aurier may have improved at Spurs this season, but he has still been very unreliable at the back at times, and his off the field conduct has recently been criticised.
The Ivorian defender broke lockdown measures to train with Tottenham teammate Moussa Sissoko, and has subsequently made a donation to the NHS.
It seems that Aurier’s time at Tottenham could be coming to an end though, with Mourinho hoping to reshape his side’s defence this summer.
The Portuguese boss is desperate for a new right-back, and Aarons is very much on his wishlist.
The Norwich City full-back is seen as an upgrade on Aurier, with Tottenham set to move for him this summer.
Spurs may have to sell to fund a move for the £30 million-rated talent (Daily Mail), with both Aurier and Walker-Peters available.
Walker-Peters has been sent out on loan by Mourinho, but it seems that he could leave Spurs on a longer-term basis in the summer.
Spurs could also fetch a sizeable sum of money for Aurier, but it seems likely that they will make a loss on the £23 million fee they paid to bring him to the club from PSG.
