      Bayern Munich have emerged as shock contenders to sign Norwich right-back Max Aarons
      Following his standout season, the defender has attracted several potential suitors keen to prevent the 20-year-old from playing in the Championship.
      Tottenham are among those but according to Sky Sports Austria, so are the German champions.
      Frenchman Benjamin Pavard has established himself as Bayern’s first choice right-back, though he is also capable of playing in a three man backline.
      Boss Hans-Dieter Flick is looking for back up in that position.

      But with Aarons on course to contend for a first-team position the England Under-21 international can provide competition for Pavard.
      The Bundesliga kings will face competition from the Premier League though.
      Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is said to be keen on a move for the Norwich full-back as he looks to stamp his mark on the squad.

      He is understood to have some reservations about 5ft 10in Aarons’ height but the Portuguese manager is still expected to give him a shot in North London. 

      Spurs right-back Serge Aurier is attracting interest from Europe with Monaco reportedly keen on taking him back to France and Aarons could be the ideal replacement. 
      Tottenham are also looking at Southampton’s wantaway former skipper Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

      Eric Dier signs new Tottenham contract until 2024 after resurgence under Jose Mourinho and impressing at centre-back

      Dier was coming into the final year of his contract, but wanted to hash out fresh terms having forged a working relationship with manager Jose Mourinho.
      Mourinho was also keen on England international staying, having become an important figure in the Portuguese’s plans moving forward.
      Dier was reverted from holding midfield into defence, going on to emerge as a crucial part of Spurs’ squad.
      Since the Premier League restart, the 26-year-old has been deployed at the back alongside Toby Alderweireld, who was also convinced to commit his future by Mourinho.

      Dier was said to have stunned Spurs chief Daniel Levy by asking for a new pay packet in the region of £120,000-a-week.
      Levy has always employed a strict wage structure which was smashed when Harry Kane agreed a £200,000-a-week deal in 2018.
      It was also revealed how Tottenham’s wage bill is £120million less than Manchester City’s.
      But Mourinho earlier this month emphasised his desire for Dier to agree a new deal.

      He said: “My boss Mr Levy tells me that he wants Eric to sign a new contract and Eric tells me that he is more than happy here.
      “He is more than happy with his situation, especially now where he feels that we have a certain idea for him and for the team.
      “And he tells me that he wants very much to stay, so I hope they can find an agreement because I try to take the team in a certain direction and when I try to develop a player in the team, it’s because I am waiting for the player to stay with us.”

      How Tottenham could line-up next season with Kurt Zouma as Mourinho plots £25m transfer for Chelsea defender

      by

      JOSE MOURINHO is reportedly out to bolster his defence in the summer to make for a new-look Tottenham XI next season.
      Jan Vertonghen and Serge Aurier look to be heading towards the exit door, giving Mourinho the chance to give his backline a more youthful outlook.

      Reports suggest that a £25million bid for Chelsea defender Zouma is first on the Tottenham boss’ wish list.
      After signing the Frenchman for the Blues in 2014, Mourinho is said to be very keen on reuniting with Zouma.
      Chelsea’s push for a revamped defence themselves, potentially including Ben Chilwell and Declan Rice, could lead to the 25-year-old’s sale.
      And he could slip into the space vacated by Jan Vertonghen if the Belgian leaves when his contract expires at the end of the month.

      Meanwhile, the right-back spot is also being identified as an area for improvement.
      Serge Aurier is linked with Ligue 1 club Monaco and that has drawn Tottenham towards a pair of potential alternatives.

      Norwich’s 20-year-old defender Max Aarons joins Atalanta’s Timothy Castagne in being touted for a move to North London.
      With Tottenham’s attack already stocked with talent, Mourinho is also reportedly looking to improve his midfield.

      Tanguy Ndombele’s future is a subject of much speculation and Pierre Emile Hojbjerg has been eyed as a new arrival.
      Southampton’s Danish midfielder lost the club captaincy amid his links to Spurs – although Ajax are also said to be plotting a bid.
