Serge Aurier allowed to leave Tottenham

Tottenham defender Serge Aurier has been informed that he is surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane and placed on the transfer list, according to a report from the Mirror on Sunday morning. The Ivory Coast international, who arrived at Spurs in a £23 million deal from Paris St Germain in 2017, has been unable to force his way into the first-team on a regular basis due to the impressive form of Kieran Trippier.

The 5 foot 9 right-back has been linked with a return to France, with Marseille and Lille both ready to spend up to £18 million to secure the 26-year-old defender's signature. Aurier has only played in 25 games for Spurs since his arrival from PSG and is unlikely to make much of an impact in the first-team next year, as Mauricio Pochettino looks to rebuild his squad as Tottenham search for their first silverware under the Argentine coach.

Aurier, who played in only 8 Premier League games during the 2018/19 season, has asked his agent to help secure a move away from North London this summer.
