Borussia Dortmund to challenge Tottenham and Arsenal for Norwich youngster Max Aarons
Borussia Dortmund are the latest club to be credited with interest in sought-after Norwich defender Max Aarons.
The 19-year-old has been linked with a January departure from Carrow Road, after earning admirers in the Premier League and further afield.
According to Sky Sports News, the right-back is wanted by Bundesliga giants Dortmund.
However, they are likely to face competition from a long line of clubs that includes Tottenham, Arsenal, Everton, West Ham and RB Leipzig.
Most of those sides are believed to prefer the option of completing a deal in the summer, rather than during the mid-season window.
But Spurs are considering a January bid to jump to the front of the queue and Norwich are understood to be willing to sell for a fee of around £30 million.
Aarons has been with the Canaries since joining the club academy in 2016, and played a big part in helping them win the Championship title last season.
The England Under-21 international has made 19 appearances for Daniel Farke’s side this season in the top flight.
