Tottenham set to make late transfer for new right-back as Serge Aurier targeted for move back to France
SERGE AURIER has been targeted for a move back to France – and will spark Tottenham’s late move for a right-back.
The 26-year-old is wanted back for a return to Ligue 1 two years after leaving Paris Saint-Germain for Spurs in a £23million move.
PSG are among the teams looking at bringing him back to Ligue 1 and will land him for the right price.
Aurier started 15 games last season after suffering hamstring and groin injuries during the campaig.
And Mauricio Pochettino is willing to let him leave, despite Kieran Trippier also departing for Atletico Madrid.
Spurs will look to land a right-back on loan before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
Kyle Walker-Peters has attracted interest from top-flight clubs offering regular first-team football, which would leave Juan Foyth as cover at right-back when he recovers from his ankle injury.
