Everton still very much want Norwich City right-back Max Aarons
Everton remain keen on Norwich City right-back Max Aarons, and there is an open line of communication between both clubs, according to 90min.
The 21-year-old is a long-term target of the Toffees, and the Canaries are willing to sell him this summer despite securing an instant return to the Premier League.
90min claims that Norwich want in excess of £25million for Aarons as they believe he is a future England international given his huge potential and talents.
Fair fee
Right-back is a position that we urgently need to strengthen ahead of next season, and the Canaries academy graduate has the potential to become a world-beater from what we have seen.
Aarons ended last season with two goals and two assists in 45 Championship appearances, and will be looking to impress in the top-flight next season after registering one assist in 36 Premier League games in 2019-20.

Seamus Coleman, 32, is no longer the top right-back he used to be, while Jonjoe Kenny has struggled for playing opportunities at Goodison Park, spending the second half of last season on loan at Celtic.
Erstwhile Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti was forced to deploy centre-back duo Mason Holgate and Ben Godfrey at right-back at times last season, and we believe Rafa Benitez needs to bring in a proper player this summer.
£25million for Aarons could end up being a bargain considering what he is capable of achieving going forward, and we would love to see Everton finally get this move over the line.
It is the type of signing that could boost our top-six chances going forward, and we are keen to see what happens regarding a deal in the coming weeks.
