Five players Tottenham should buy for next season

5. Max Aarons — Norwich City

The thought of bringing another unseasoned, inexperienced wing back to Hotspur Way might frighten some. They’ll say Tottenham need a bona fide starter, somebody Premier League ready, prepared for the rigours and demands that await. Luckily Max Aarons, Norwich City’s breakout right back, ticks all the necessary boxes. He’s enjoyed an absolutely terrific maiden year in England’s top flight and, maybe most importantly, just turned 20 years old. He’s mature well beyond his years, looking every part a seasoned pro.

Offering trickery, pace and a footballing acuity rare for his tender age, Aarons would assuredly unseat Serge Aurier as the club’s first choice right back.

Tansfermarkt values the Englishman at about £18 million, an incredibly fair price. He see Norwich accepting a £22 million. But when you think of his upside and potential career trajectory, Aarons should, if the club that purchases him plays their cards right, be worth at least three times that in five years. He’s good enough to be vying for his nation’s top right back spot within a season or two. He has started 27 of Norwich’s 29 league matches and is one of the silver linings to an otherwise abject campaign for a side almost certain to make the drop.
