Having signed Emerson Royal in the summer, Tottenham addressed a strong need for a right-back after Serge Aurier was let go.
While they already had Matt Doherty as cover, the 29-year-old never reached his Wolverhampton Wanderers heights, totalling a paltry 58 minutes in the Premier League so far.
Perhaps Antonio Conte wants to move on, with likely many takers in England for the Irishman, which is why we are seeing Spurs linked with Max Aarons, alongside Everton.
The Toffees, down their end, have Seamus Coleman in the role, but at 33 years of age, Doherty’s compatriot isn’t exactly getting any younger, and Jonjoe Kenny doesn’t seem to have Rafael Benitez’s trust so far, meaning a new body could go a long way.
Calciomercato.it are the ones bringing this up, as AS Roma have made the first move to sign Norwich City’s Max Aarons, putting forward a loan with a view to buy, which was immediately rejected by the Canaries.
Then, at the end of the article, they explain the Serie A side ‘aren’t the only ones’, with Borussia Dortmund ‘very interested’ in the England U21 international, ‘as are Everton and the Tottenham of Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici’.
Not only that, it’s said Spurs have the ‘greatest chance’ of grabbing Max Aarons in either January or June, giving them the advantage in this race.
