NORWICH star Max Aarons will reportedly cost Tottenham around £45million if they want to buy the full-back this winter.
Jose Mourinho’s side are weighing up how to approach the new transfer window with right-back one of the positions high up their agenda.

Serge Aurier has been the favoured option since the new manager’s arrival but goals continue to be let in with the Ivorian not retaining fans’ trust.
And yet neither Kyle Walker-Peters or Juan Foyth, who can step across from the centre of defence, have persuaded Mourinho to give them a proper run in the team.
Spurs bosses looked to improve their options in the summer, according to The Athletic, by considering deals for Canaries ace Aarons and Steven Sessegnon of Fulham.
Going back in for Norwich’s England youth international this month will mean a chunky fee, said to be along the same lines of what Manchester United paid for Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the summer.
At the age of just 19, Aarons has played all but two of Norwich’s games this season.
The Football League’s Young Player of the Year as Daniel Farke’s men marched to the Championship title, he only made his debut in September 2018 having come through the club academy.
Given his side’s fight against relegation, many feel this deal would be more suitable for the end of the season.
But, in the meantime, reports suggest Walker-Peters could leave Tottenham on loan in January.
Bar a runout in the Champions League dead rubber at Bayern Munich, the 22-year-old remains unused by Mourinho and wasn’t even on the bench for the trip to Norwich on Saturday.
