Leeds United have emerged as favourites to sign defender Max Aarons, whom Bournemouth are prepared to let go after just 12 months at the club, according to TEAMtalk.

 

Despite failing to secure a return to the Premier League last season, Leeds could soon lure another top-flight player to Elland Road, shortly after Manor Solomon arrives from Tottenham Hotspur.

 

The Whites have identified the 24-year-old right-back as their next target ahead of the transfer deadline, while the deal for Solomon is now nearing completion.

 

According to TEAMtalk, Leeds are now ‘confident’ of reuniting Aarons with manager Daniel Farke, who worked with the English defender during his time at Norwich City and won two promotions to the Premier League.

 

The Elland Road outfit have reignited their interest in Aarons after he snubbed a summer move to Leeds last year and instead opted to sign for Bournemouth on a long-term deal.

 

Twelve months later, the Cherries are now prepared to let the 24-year-old go, with several clubs in England and Italy reportedly keeping an eye on his availability.

 

Farke and Aarons Set to Reunite

Expected to leave the Dorset outfit in the coming days, Aarons would bring competition for Jayden Bogle on the right side of Farke’s defence and is well-suited to the German tactician’s style of play, having spent three full seasons together at Norwich.

 

A reunion with Farke could provide a huge confidence boost for Aarons, who endured an injury-hit campaign in his first season with Bournemouth, making just 13 starts in the Premier League.

 

Dubbed a “special player” by Farke during his Canaries days, the 24-year-old was also left out of the Cherries’ squad for their first two league fixtures this season, with Bournemouth now willing to part ways with him ahead of the transfer dead

line.
