According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Tottenham Hotspur’s right-back Serge Aurier could finally be on his way out of North London and heading on his way to challenges afresh in Serie A.
Serge Alain Stéphane Aurier has made over 70 Premier League appearances for Spurs, but last season only managed to contribute on 19 occasions as the situation was clouded with the arrival of Matt Doherty from Wolves. Presumably, the thinking is that under Nuno Espírito Santo, the Irish international will press the point further – and hopefully effect better results than was achieved on the last Portuguese at the helm.
I take a view that Aurier has his limitations, but as an attacking wing-back he can frequently be forceful and create welcome transitions from defence to attack that many of our other back line can not.
Spurs have much to iron out before the season starts, indeed before the preseason friendlies get underway, and it remains to be seen quite how much of the significant task will be achieved before the season begins to get underway and points are at stake.
Milan is said to be keen, and Serge on Milan, only Daniel Levy’s asking price of €20million separates a formal agreement.
