Arsenal are ready to compete with Tottenham for Norwich City fullback Max Aarons.

Goal says the Gunners have joined rivals Tottenham in the transfer race for Aarons but refuse to pay the £30m valuation, according to reports.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is keen to add another right-back into his squad to compete with Hector Bellerin but limited funds in the Emirates camp could prove a stumbling block.

Aarons has shone for Daniel Farke's side despite their relegation struggles this campaign, clocking up 27 appearances out of a possible 29.

But the bottom-of-the-table Canaries look set to lose one of their most-prized assets in the summer, with Arsenal now joining Spurs in the battle for the London whizkid.
