Tottenham open to offers for Serge Aurier

 

Tottenham want to sign a new right-back this summer and are open to selling Serge Aurier, claims The Daily Mail.

 

Jose Mourinho has made addressing Tottenham's defence one of their main priorities this summer and Aurier's future is up in the air.

 

Jan Vertonghen is also on course to leave at the end of the season when his current deal expires, while Danny Rose is also expected to leave permanently having been loaned out in January.

 

Tottenham failed to replace Kieran Trippier last summer following the England international's move to Atletico Madrid.

 

Kyle Walker-Peters looked set for increased gametime as a result but the 23-year-old was loaned out to Southampton in January and his future is bleak under Mourinho.

 

A new right-back will certainly be at the top of Mourinho's summer wishlist, with Norwich's Max Aarons a potential target, but Tottenham could even cash in on Aurier.

The Ivory Coast international joined Tottenham from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 but his defensive displays have left a lot to be desired.

 

Aurier has contributed well in an attacking sense with five goals and assists in the Premier League this season but his positioning and decision-making at the back, or lack of, has often left Tottenham hugely exposed.
