What’s the latest Tottenham transfer news involving Serge Aurier?
In May, the 69-time Ivory Coast star revealed that he had already struck a deal to leave the north London club this summer. He plans to return to PSG as his preferred venue.
Although no final agreement has been made yet, it appears that he could return to France as the deadline approaches.
The Spurs got an approach from Lille. However, the circumstances are complex. Romano’s comments on Aurier’s departure from Tottenham
Romano revealed that Lille had approached Romano to sign the right-back. It seems any move by Aurier would depend on Zeki Celik, his No. 2 soccer player, leaving Atlético de Madrid before the deadline.

Although there isn’t much time in the transfer window for deals, some right-backs have been identified as Spurs targets all summer.
They were strongly linked with Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, who can play right-back or center-back. However, there hasn’t been much news on that search recently.
In May, they were also said to have approached Max Aarons of Norwich City.
