Championship leaders Norwich City reportedly want £15m for Max Aarons with Premier League duo Spurs and Man City keen.

Tottenham Hotspur are now facing competition from Manchester City to sign the exciting Norwich City full-back Max Aarons, according to TEAMtalk.

The 19-year-old defender has been a revelation at Carrow Road this season, making 30 appearances for the high-flying Canaries who are top of the Championship table with just 10 games to go.

The swashbuckling right-back has provided five assists, establishing himself as a key player alongside fellow academy graduates Jamal Lewis and Todd Cantwell.

The Mirror reported in February that Tottenham were leading the chase to sign Aarons in the summer with the teenager valued at £15 million.

But Spurs will face a tough task with Manchester City also interested. This is according to TEAMtalk, who believe that the Premier League champions are ‘mesmerised’ with the versatile Aarons, who could also solve their problem position on the left.

City apparently believe Aarons could walk straight into their first-team plans and you could hardly blame the youngster for wanting to work with Pep Guardiola.

But Mauricio Pochettino has helped launch the careers of numerous England internationals, from Harry Kane to Dele Alli, Luke Shaw to Adam Lallana so Aarons has a decision to make.
