Tottenham Hotspur have announced that defender Serge Aurier has terminated his deal in North London.
The former Paris Saint-Germain full-back was due to become a free agent in 2022 and was pushed down the Tottenham pecking order following the arrival of Emerson Royal from Barcelona.
With Matt Doherty also seeking to re-establish his fruitful relationship with Nuno Espirito Santo, Aurier revealed earlier this year that he was planning to leave Spurs in the not-so-distant future.
Now, Tottenham have confirmed that Aurier has left the club by mutual consent, with the defender telling tottenhamhotspur.com: "I have really enjoyed my time at Spurs and would like to thank the club and the fans, but I feel now is the right time for me to move onto a new challenge."
Aurier was linked with a return to PSG before the French giants swooped for Achraf Hakimi, and the 28-year-old leaves Tottenham having scored eight goals and set up 17 more in 110 appearances for the club.
The right-back only started 19 games in the 2020-21 Premier League, though, while he is yet to make an appearance in any competition this season.
