Norwich City defender Max Aarons is signing a new five-year contract in another huge boost for last season’s Championship winners.

Aarons, an England under-19 international, has emerged as one of the most highly regarded young talents in the country and has agreed an improved and lengthy deal, his third in the space of 12 months.

The EFL’s Young Player of the Season made 40 appearances in the Championship last season after only making his league debut for Norwich in September, scoring two goals.

The right-back’s impact has been so impressive that negotiations began shortly after Norwich clinched promotion back to the Premier League.

Norwich have now reached an agreement with the 19 year old’s representatives and confirmation is expected in the next few days.

Norwich have rewarded many of Daniel Farke’s squad with new deals after securing promotion, with Teemu Pukki, Emi Buendia, Tim Krul, Ben Godfrey, Onel Hernandez, Timm Klose, Kenny McLean, Marco Stiepermann and Todd Cantwell all committing their futures to the Canaries.

Farke’s first season in the top-flight starts with a trip to Champions League winners Liverpool on August 9.
