# Tottenham Hotspur: Lilywhites now keen to offload Serge Aurier

**According to a report by French news outlet RMC Sport, via [Get French Football News](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2021/tottenham-keen-to-offload-serge-aurier-for-e10m-this-summer/), Tottenham Hotspur are now keen to offload defender Serge Aurier this summer and could do so for as little as [€10 million (£8.7 million).](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2021/tottenham-keen-to-offload-serge-aurier-for-e10m-this-summer/)**

### The Lowdown: Aurier on the chopping block

The Ivorian has played very regularly for Spurs this season and has arguably been a mainstay in the side at points under both Jose Mourinho and interim boss Ryan Mason – starting 18 Premier League games in total, six more than summer signing Matt Doherty ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)).

He was praised for his much improved form under Mourinho earlier this campaign and earned plenty of plaudits ([Alasdair Gold](https://youtu.be/N261SMcMJQY?t=898)), but the defender’s [downturn](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/tottenham-serge-aurier-man-city-23980118) since then has made Aurier a nominee for the Spurs summer sale list.

Alasdair Gold recently touted the 28-year-old as one of the names who could leave – mentioning him in a list with Erik Lamela, Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko, Juan Foyth and Dele Alli ([football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/10-tottenham-players-expected-leave-20272675)).

### The Latest: Spurs now keen to offload

Now, in an update on Aurier’s situation, RMC Sport (via [GFFN](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2021/tottenham-keen-to-offload-serge-aurier-for-e10m-this-summer/)) claim that the Lilywhites and chairman Daniel Levy are now keen to sell the [66-cap ace](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/serge-aurier/profil/spieler/127032) and could do so for as little as €10m (£8.7m).

It is also stated in the report that Paris-Saint Germain have placed Aurier on a shortlist as former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino weighs strengthening his right-back options.

Aurier has previously hinted he would be open to Parc des Princes return and this update claims a move would majorly interest him.

### The Verdict: Big call by Levy?

Still in his prime at 28 and with plenty of experience at Premier League level, we believe that allowing him to go for just £8.7m could be a mistake.

Tottenham will need every penny they can muster given the likelihood they will adopt a sell-to-buy policy ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12296538/tottenham-in-hunt-for-new-striker-with-carlos-vinicius-set-for-benfica-return)) and losing Aurier for such a meagre fee arguably won’t help matters.

Aurier dominates the Spurs squad in one particular stat, making the most tackles per 90 on average out of any Lilywhites player this season – including midfield enforcer and arguable best signing of last summer Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)).

He has also been called ‘amazing’ for his ability to get forward by ex-Spurs keeper Paul Robinson ([Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/robinson-very-surprised-by-what-hes-seen-from-aurier-at-tottenham-amid-intriguing-reveal/)), and Tottenham should be aiming to recuperate much more from his possible sale.
