And the hits just keep on coming. Serge Aurier, arguably Spurs’ strongest signing is now cleared and ready for take off. Gladys believes that the boy’s legal paperwork is now all in order. The document rescinding the 24 year old’s travel ban was in fact received yesterday afternoon and the feisty fightback will be in the UK as soon as Tuesday.
For those interested, Aurier was also offered – and obviously declined – terms with Manchester United. There were also two other named sides interested in the Ivorian, but no formal offers were placed.
The additions of Aurier and Sanchez were not at all predictable when the season closed, as Tottenham had the best back four in the country. To call the departure of Bonzo and the public idiocy of Rose a ‘curveball’ is somewhat of an understatement.
Credit where it is due, Levy’s done well here and Aurier may well prove to be the ace in the pack. Poch needs to rethink our back line and he now has the resources to do so effectively.
