Tottenham are pressing hard to lure highly-rated right-back Max Aarons away from Norwich this month.

Jose Mourinho’s side are really keen on the defender who could provide a long-term solution for Spurs.

But the Canaries are reluctant to sell as they look to battle against the drop in their first season back in the Premier League.

Aarons has been a revelation in the top flight for Norwich since their promotion and caught the attention of a host of top teams.

Borussia Dortmund have been linked with a move for the 20-year-old, but Spurs are pursuing him intensely.

So much so that Football Insider say a Tottenham representative has been calling Aarons’ camp ‘every day’.

Spurs have constantly been trying to persuade him to swap east Anglia for north London during January.

The window shuts in just over two weeks’ time and Mourinho requires a solution, short term and long term, at right-back.

Serge Aurier has predominantly filled in their this season but his future at Spurs looks somewhat uncertain amid interest from AC Milan, who are plotting a £15m move.

Kieran Trippier has still not been replaced in the squad since the England international left for Atletico Madrid.

With regards to Aarons coming in, Norwich have reportedly slapped a massive £50m price-tag on his shoulders.

The pacy England youth has earned rave reviews from Spurs’ scouting team, though, and the club are doing all they can to push for a possible deal.

Norwich manager Daniel Farke said this week, though: "No potential, and I wouldn't spend too much energy listening to all these rumours.

"Max is a young guy and he still has four-and-a-half years of his contract left. I think it's not the right time for him to even think about a move.

"I would also be doubtful when too many clubs are linked with him. He is totally at the right place here, he's played nearly 20 Premier League games, now leave him alone and let him play some football."
