# Tottenham Hotspur: Alasdair Gold makes encouraging transfer claim

**Speaking in a Q&A for [football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/new-tottenham-manager-latest-nuno-20857853), Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Alasdair Gold has made an encouraging transfer claim.**

### The Lowdown: Sell-to-buy…

It is set to be a strange summer at Tottenham, with the club needing to offload players before properly finalising player moves in this window.

Of all the names linked with a summer exit from Spurs, only Juan Foyth has [managed to complete a permanent move away](https://theathletic.com/news/tottenham-transfer-juan-foyth-villarreal/6tbGRN9dMHwL) so far and help to bolster Tottenham’s transfer kitty.

The other players linked with departures, including potentially Harry Winks, Serge Aurier, Erik Lamela and Moussa Sissoko ([football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/10-tottenham-players-expected-leave-20272675)), are all still on Spurs’ books.

### The Latest: Gold drops encouraging transfer claim…

Speaking in a [football.london Q&A](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/new-tottenham-manager-latest-nuno-20857853), Gold has now explained what Spurs will definitely do if they manage to sell a particular player.

Indeed, the journalist says that Tottenham will move for a new right-back if wantaway ace Aurier can secure a departure this summer.

“It’s quite simple with Aurier,” Gold says.

“He wants to go, Spurs would be happy for him to go, but they need a reasonable bid (not as high as the 20m euros reported in France last week).

“Tottenham will move for a new right-back if he does head out of the exit door.

“Tottenham like Aarons and they need some homegrown signings but it’s all on Paratici now.”

### The Verdict: Encouraging…

Tottenham have long been linked with a new right-back, with reports of interest in Max Aarons dating as[far back as last summer.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8830659/12-Championship-players-sign-Premier-League-club-EFL-transfer-deadline.html)

Spurs were also tracking Turkey international defender Zeki Celik [last year](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/08/07/tottenham-aim-rise-funds-sign-right-back-zeki-celik-offloading/) and those links have [re-emerged over 2021 as well.](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-tottenham-manchester-united-target-transfer-news-zeki-celik-lille-b938336.html)

If the Lilywhites are going to initiate a major summer overhaul, supporters may be encouraged by this claim that Spurs will move to immediately replace Aurier if the Ivorian can seal his exit.
