Arsenal have joined the race to sign Norwich City defender Max Aarons and are expected to match any bid made by city rivals Tottenham in January.
Aarons has produced a number of highly impressive performances this season for the Canaries in the Championship after making his league debut in the east Anglian derby against Ipswich in September.
The 18-year-old plays primarily as a right back but has also featured occasionally on the left-hand side of defence for Norwich.
Reports in the Daily Mirror suggest that Arsenal and Tottenham could sign Aarons for £15m in January.
