# Tottenham Hotspur: Serge Aurier now close to leaving north London

**Speaking to[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aurier-agrees-personal-terms-with-psg-as-tottenham-exit-close/), a Tottenham Hotspur source has shared that Ligue 1 giants Paris-Saint Germain are now ‘[close](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aurier-agrees-personal-terms-with-psg-as-tottenham-exit-close/)‘ to securing a full agreement for the transfer of right-back Serge Aurier.**

### The Lowdown: Aurier and the exit door…

The Ivorian has been the subject of speculation and widely tipped to be one of the names leaving Tottenham this summer.

Indeed, reliable correspondent [Alasdair Gold](https://twitter.com/AlasdairGold/status/1396856892064944131) had touted him as one of the favourites for departure – while the player himself then candidly admitting it is time to move on after reaching the ‘end of a cycle’ ([L’Equipe](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Serge-aurier-tottenham-je-suis-arrive-a-la-fin-d-un-cycle/1257325)).

Tottenham will need to adopt a sell-to-buy policy this summer to fund marquee additions, with Football Insider now bringing a big development on Aurier’s future.

### The Latest: PSG now ‘close’ to securing full agreement…

As explained by FI’s ‘Tottenham source’, PSG are now ‘close to securing a full agreement’ for the player and ‘will meet the conditions of sale’.

It is also claimed that the 28-year-old has agreed personal terms over a return to the French capital with a Tottenham exit ‘edging closer’.

The defender has been in talks with PSG since last month in a move that would see him reunite with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino at the Parc des Princes.

Indeed, Aurier has apparently accepted the offer of a ‘lucrative’ four-year deal and will leave regardless of any new stance from an incoming Spurs manager.

### The Verdict: Time to go…

Aurier enjoyed a brief spell of brilliant form at the start of last campaign, as highlighted by his particularly excellent display during Tottenham’s historic[6-1 victory over Manchester United](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54313274) at Old Trafford.

The [66-cap international ace](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/serge-aurier/profil/spieler/127032) also started more Premier League games than 2020 summer signing Matt Doherty at right-back ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)), but we believe his time in north London is definitely up.

Given his age (28) and contract situation, Spurs need to cash-in and fund a major summer overhaul – with a new centre-half [desperately required](https://t.co/QZciD3mbPk?amp=1) in particular.
