Aurier 'wants to leave Spurs amid PSG interest'

Serge Aurier reportedly wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur before the end of the transfer window, with Paris Saint-Germain among the clubs showing an interest in the defender.

The 26-year-old has struggled to firmly establish himself in North London since joining from the French giants in 2017, starting just 22 Premier League games.

It is now reported by the Daily Mail that PSG are interested in bringing the Ivorian international, who last played a competitive game for Spurs in March, back to the Parc des Princes to offer manager Thomas Tuchel more defensive options.

European sides have until September 2 to complete their transfer business, with Italian outfit AC Milan also believed to have shown an interest in the former Toulouse player.

Should Aurier get his wish and leave Spurs, it would leave boss Mauricio Pochettino with limited cover at right-back over the next few months having already sold Kieran Trippier this summer.

The club's only recognised options at right-back are youngster Kyle Walker-Peters and the Argentinian Juan Foyth, who is out of action until September at the earliest with an ankle problem.
