Everton target Aarons as long-term solution at right-back

Everton have reportedly made Norwich City's Max Aarons their top target as they seek a long-term successor to Seamus Coleman.

With Jonjoe Kenny expected to leave the club this summer and Coleman turning 33 later this year, the Blues are in the market for a new right-back.

Aarons is highly-rated and has been linked with a move to Everton ever since Marcel Brands signed his former team-mate, Ben Godfrey, from the Canaries last summer.

It appeared as though Brands was in for stiff competition for the 21-year-old's signature when it was claimed that Bayern Munich held serious interest in him but there were reports last month that the German giants had cooled on the idea.

That could leave the path clear for Everton if, as Paul Joyce suggests in The Times, they can "haggle" Norwich down from their £30m asking price.
