Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been told that they will have to come up with a bid of £45m if they wish to sign Norwich City defender Max Aarons at the end of the season.
The 19-year-old has impressed for the Canaries during the 2019-20 campaign, playing in 19 of their 21 Premier League matches.
Last month, Norwich boss Daniel Farke said that he was determined to keep hold of the teenager during the January transfer window amid speculation of interest from Spurs.
According to The Athletic, Jose Mourinho's side will be unable to sign the defender during the winter window, but a bid of £45m would be considered at the end of the campaign.
Tottenham are believed to have prioritised a move for a new right-back, with Serge Aurier struggling to convince for the London giants.
Kyle Walker-Peters is another option for Spurs on the right side of their defence, but the 22-year-old has not played a single minute of Premier League football since Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino at the helm.
