Serge Aurier to join Arsenal as Sagna replacement

Arsenal will reportedly make a swift offer to sign Toulouse defender Serge Aurier, with French international Bacary Sagna likely to leave the club this summer.

According to The Daily Express, Sagna will likely sign an agreement with either Manchester City or Manchester United in the offseason, having failed to agreed on a contract renewal with the North London club in recent months.

 

The Gunners have been tracking Aurier since the turn of the year, and reports claims that the Ivory Coast international could be the club's first signing this summer.

 

Arsenal would have to pay a transfer fee of around £7m for the talented defender, who was selected in the Ivorian national side for the forthcoming World Cup finals in Brazil.
