Iraola told the Daily Echo: “Yes, there are things ongoing right now with Max and I have to thank him because we asked him to do probably a last effort of 45 minutes.
“A top professional.
“He has given his best and I think the agreement is quite close right now.”
Aarons is joining Valencia on-loan with an option to buy.
