Norwich stopper ​Zimmerman tells Aarons benefits of Bayern Munich move

Norwich City defender Christoph Zimmermann suggests that teammate Max Aarons should move abroad.

The German, who is currently out with an ankle injury, was asked about the constant transfer speculation surrounding young Aarons.

The right back has been linked to nearly every major club in Europe during the past 12 to 18 months, including the likes of Bayern Munich.

"First of all, I'm quite happy we've got him here but he's got all it takes to play in any of the top five leagues," said Zimmermann, per Evening News 24.

"Just speaking for myself, I can say for me, it was very good to have the chance to play in a different country because it really has helped to improve my career.

"I think just sometimes leaving your comfort zone and taking a step into the unknown, going abroad and playing there can help in your development. Max can compete in the Bundesliga because he is good enough for the Premier League and this is probably the best league in the world at the moment. For personal reasons though I hope Max is going to stay with us for a little longer."
