Valencia interested in Bournemouth's Aarons

Valencia have made an enquiry about the availability of Bournemouth defender Max Aarons.

The interest is said to be driven by former West Bromwich Albion and Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan, who is now managing at the Spanish club, having faced Aarons, 25, multiple times in the Championship.

However, the move would need Valencia's attempts to sign first-choice defensive target Ivan Fresneda, who plays for Sporting, to fall through.

A sudden injury crisis at Bournemouth also complicates the situation with Evanilson, Enes Unal, Marcos Senesi, Julian Araujo, Alex Scott, Marcus Tavernier, Luis Sinisterra and Adam Smith all currently out.
