Valencia are reaching an agreement to bring in a new right-back from the Premier League

Valencia already brought in Umar Sadiq in January to inspire their survival bid, but are close to sealing a new right-back as well. A deal for Max Aarons to arrive is all but done.

Los Che had been waiting for a decision from Ivan Fresneda and Sporting CP, with whom they have also agreed terms, but it seems more likely to go to Como now. At the same time, Valencia were working on a deal to bring in Max Aarons from Bournemouth.

The 25-year-old Englishman will arrive on loan with an option for Valencia to buy in the summer, report Relief. That option to buy is the only detail to be settled, but it will be somewhere between 6-8 million euros. Aarons will arrive over the weekend, and could be available for selection as soon as Monday.

After starting right-back Thierry Correia suffered a torn cruciate ligament, Los Che were looking for an alternative to Dimitri Foulquier, and Fresneda looked like he would be that other option. New manager Carlos Corberan is familiar with Aarons from his time in England, however, and provides a more attacking option.
