# Chelsea tracking young defender Max Aarons

Chelsea are tracking young Norwich City right-back Max Aarons as he continues to impress in the Championship.

According to PA journalist Nick Mashiter, Chelsea and Arsenal are both monitoring the defender.

Despite interest from Chelsea, Mashiter claims that Aarons is poised to sign a new contract with Norwich.

The 18-year-old has burst onto the scene in the Championship this season and made ten senior appearances for Norwich – scoring once against Cardiff in the League Cup.

Aarons is an England under-19 international and is able to play at right-back or left-back, showing his versatility.

Chelsea are likely to continue following him for the rest of the season.
