Sounds like a smoke screen to me. Bayern are just trying to distract everyone so they can nip in and sign Callum Wilson whilst no one is looking.

Bayern's sudden links to Aarons make sense as Pavard has just suffered an injury and Odriozola seems likely to go back to Madrid [Flick doesn't seem to rate him]. A new signing wouldn't be eligible to play for them in the Champions League though, so I'm not expecting this to be urgent.

A situation to watch though. Will be interesting to see how big of a step up from Norwich he's wiling to take.

Sorry where was this?

more from gilly: So without get all mardy the info on Aarons is from his from the boys dad who dis t tell me but an Arsenal scout who discovered him yers back. Done last month. So lets see if its true. Spoke to him just now and he said deffo done in June.


To get through the wording: The scout is from Arsenal but it's meant to be done deal for Spurs.

Norwich are reportedly demanding £18m for him. As one of England & the Premier League's hottest young prospects, in a position we desperately need to improve, this should be a no brainer for us.

...especially when we're reportedly looking at a CB in the Chinese Super League for £15m [when we already have 5 CBs tied down on long term deals].

At the start of the video it says he managed only 2 assists this season, and I was not too impressed. Then after watching the first few clips of the video, you realise why Norwich were relegated. Some really poor finishing.
Agree with you though, if he's actually available for £18M then we should have signed him yesterday.

So Levy’s opening bid was £4.5m then.

Aarons crossing ability is on par with kieran trippier I would say ... Imagine Son, Kane, Dele getting those crosses inside the box ...

and he is very good at travelling with the ball at his feet at pace.
I just worry about all the other stuff such as his lack of height and defensive ability.

Same here. His tackling ability, heading ability has question marks I would say. Aurier despite his shortcomings, has won highest number of aerial duel in this season among all our players. Plus Aurier is top ten tackler in the premier league this season. Can aarons replicate this along with his attacking instinctive?
