Danny Mills claims that Jose Mourinho doesn’t trust Serge Aurier because of his lack of consistency.
The Ivorian has been a very inconsistent player since he joined Tottenham and that is one of the reasons why the club has signed Matt Doherty.
The Republic of Ireland international has come in and become the first choice at Tottenham.
Aurier, however, started and played the full 90 minutes of Tottenham’s Premier League game against Manchester City yesterday.
Like most of his teammates, the full-back did a fine job, but he is not capable of reproducing that kind of performance game.
Mills thinks that Aurier is fine as a backup player because he can be trusted to play some games, however, the defender just doesn’t have the consistency to play regularly for the club and that is the reason why Jose Mourinho doesn’t trust him.
He told Football Insider: “With Aurier, I’m not sure he has the consistency for Mourinho and that’s obviously why he has brought in Doherty.
“Mourinho likes good defenders in his side and he wants to be very very solid.
“Doherty was consistent for Wolves, every single week he was fantastic. He’s brought him in for that high level of consistency more than anything else that’s what he wants.
“Aurier I think is a good backup, he can certainly do a job in there. We’ve seen some very good games we’ve seen him have some not so good games. It’s just that consistency level that Mourinho doesn’t quite trust.”
