Norwich City can confirm that Max Aarons has completed a permanent transfer to AFC Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee.
Aarons, a product of the club’s academy system, played a significant part in two Sky Bet Championship title-winning seasons and has amassed over 200 appearances for the Canaries since his debut in 2018.
The right-back first joined the club in 2016, and signed his first professional deal in June 2018 after impressing in the development sides.
He made his first-team debut in the League Cup against Stevenage, and later made his league debut against Ipswich Town in September 2018.
The 23-year-old has also made 27 appearances for England Under-21s, winning the UEFA European Under-21 Championship this summer.
Stuart Webber, sporting director, said: “We’re of course disappointed to lose Max, but once a Premier League club matched our valuation we couldn’t stand in his way.
“Max, since the moment he made his debut against Stevenage in 2018, has been top class, both as a player and a person. He’s our current highest appearance holder, has won two titles and, most recently, a major tournament for his country.
“It hasn’t always been easy for Max with constant speculation that has surrounded his future, but it speaks volumes for him, that he’s always got on with the job of representing Norwich City to the best of his ability.
“We all wish Max and his family well and look forward to welcoming him back in the future.”
