“Belongs in the top flight” – Fulham consider transfer move for Norwich City player: The verdict

Fulham are weighing up a summer move for Norwich City full-back Max Aarons, as per a report from Football Insider. 

Aarons, who has featured 29 times in the Premier League for the Canaries this season, could be parented with the opportunity to remain in England’s top-flight, with it looking increasingly likely that the Norfolk club will be relegated.

Fulham have been promoted from the Championship and will be eager to wrap up the title over the next few days.

The 22-year-old has already played over 160 games for the Canaries, with the academy graduate enjoying an excellent rise to regular first-team football at Carrow Road.

Three of our writers here at FLW have shared their thoughts regarding Fulham’s interest in the Norwich defender…

Ben Wignall 

Aarons was very highly rated last year and was even apparently courted by Barcelona, but his season in the Premier League with Norwich has seen interest somewhat die down in his services.

That isn’t to say that Aarons isn’t a good player now though – however when you are a defender playing for a struggling side rather than a successful one then you’re bound to get less attention.

Aarons is clearly a player that belongs in the top flight though, but you’d imagine that Norwich will be holding out for a big transfer fee.

He is a very similar player to Neco Williams though – although Williams probably has a bit more of a cutting edge in the final third – so if they cannot get the Wales international back next season then Aarons is a good, if not more expensive
