# Tottenham Hotspur: Paul Robinson tips Spurs to offload Serge Aurier after talks with AC Milan

**Speaking to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-paul-robinson-tips-spurs-to-bin-19-20-regular-starter-after-sky-reveal/), ex-Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson has tipped the club to finally offload defender Serge Aurier this summer after a year-long transfer saga with the Ivorian, especially considering that AC Milan have been showing a strong interest, according to [Sky Sports.](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12057759/serge-aurier-tottenham-and-ac-milan-talks-stall-over-valuation)**

Aurier, who signed for Tottenham back in the [summer of 2017](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/31/tottenham-serge-aurier-transfer-paris-saint-germain), has become a slight pantomime villain in the eyes of [many Lilywhites supporters,](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/fixtures-results/tottenham-fans-serge-aurier-arsenal-18585353) partly due to his often inconsistent and erratic showings in north London.

As a result, while the [60-cap international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/serge-aurier/profil/spieler/127032) has also enjoyed his fair share of [redeeming moments](https://thisisfutbol.com/2020/01/blogs/premier-league/tottenham-hotspur-spurs-fans-praise-aurier/), Spurs could be looking to offload the 27-year-old to fund summer transfer activity.

Robinson has backed this up, especially considering that Tottenham allegedly [missed out on Timothy Castagne](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1332159/Tottenham-transfer-news-Timothy-Castagne-Jose-Mourinho-latest-update) to Leicester City after failing to sell Aurier.

Going on to claim that the ‘writing is on the wall’ for him, Robinson hints that manager Jose Mourinho sees the right-back as a ‘potential avenue of income’, insisting that Tottenham managing to offload the Ivorian would be a great bit of business.

“The fact that Spurs are listening to offers for Serge Aurier tells me that the writing is on the wall for him,” explained Robinson to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-paul-robinson-tips-spurs-to-bin-19-20-regular-starter-after-sky-reveal/).

“We know the financial situation that Spurs are in and I think Jose sees him as a potential avenue of income. He could use the money to strengthen in that position or elsewhere. They might be able to get a decent fee for a player that they wanted to ship on anyway this summer.”

Last summer, Aurier admitted that he wanted a move out of north London, claiming that he was in fact ‘looking for an exit’ in search of much-needed playing time (as per [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7562953/Transfer-news-Serge-Aurier-admits-tried-leave-Tottenham-summer.html)).

AC Milan have been continuously linked with a swoop, with [Gazzetta dello Sport via MilanNews.24.com](https://www.milannews24.com/gazzetta-milan-passi-in-avanti-per-aurier-ma-tocca-elliott/) reporting that negotiations were ‘advanced’ over an £18m move to the San Siro. However, this rumour didn’t come to fruition, but Spurs supporters could be hoping that the club can finalise his sale sooner rather than later.
