Arsenal joined by Manchester United in transfer race to sign £20m Takehiro Tomiyasu competition

Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Norwich City right-back Max Aarons. German giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have also been linked with a move for the young Englishman.

The 22-year-old has two years left on his deal at Carrow Road but with the Canaries bottom of the Premier League and likely to return to the Championship once more, it wouldn't be surprising if he moved on from the club this summer. The right-back - who's valued at around £19.8million as per Transfermarkt - has long been linked with a transfer to the Emirates Stadium, and with Mikel Arteta needing competition for Japanese international Takehiro Tomiyasu, Aarons may well be the perfect candidate.

Edu and Arteta have shopped for players under the age of 25 as they continue the club's rebuild. Not only does he tick that box, but Aarons is everything that you'd expect from a more well-rounded, modern full-back - and as a bonus, he qualifies a homegrown talent.
