Max Aarons

The young Englishman is considered to be one of Europe’s most highly rated full-backs, and is attracting the interest of a number of big clubs in his homeland. Borussia Dortmund have been linked with a move for Aarons in the past, and he could represent a cheap option, especially if Norwich City get relegated from the Premier League this season.

Despite being only 20, Aarons has consistently been one of Norwich City’s better performers. His marauding runs up and down the right flank have been a constant feature of Norwich’s play over the last 18 months. He also has great technical ability, and is capable of doing a solid job on both ends of the pitch.

Aarons may not be the finished product, but he has the potential to become one of the top right-backs in Europe. A move to Borussia Dortmund would represent the perfect next step for him, and the club could certainly develop him into one of the world’s best right-backs.
