Serge Aurier’s time at Tottenham Hotspur has been a rather mixed bag. The Ivorian has put in a number of solid performances since joining from Paris Saint-Germain, however, he has also been liable of putting in some rather shocking displays as well, with the game against Burnley recently one that he would like to forget.
And, it appears Mauricio Pochettino is starting to lose his patience with the right-back as the 26-year-old could be about to wave goodbye to his team-mates at the north London outfit in the near future.
What’s the News?
According to a report by The Sun, Spurs are allegedly keen to cut their losses and are thought to be particularly keen to offload Aurier this summer.
It is understood that Tottenham are desperate enough to get rid of the Ivorian that they could be prepared to accept offers for around half of the £23million they splashed out on him in August 2017.
The Verdict:
Aurier has been a player that has proved to be really hit-and-miss for Tottenham during his brief time at the club. A player that arrived with plenty of expectation, at times he has been nothing but a disappointment for Spurs.
The Ivorian has had games where many at Wembley have been proud to call him a Tottenham player and have been keen for him to be their first choice right-back, with the match against Borussia Dortmund at home in their Champions League a particular highlight. The 26-year-old managed to restrict the German’s ability to attack in the final third, whilst he was also a threat going forward as he managed to create a number of chances and helped the side to their second goal of the game.
However, those performances have been too far and between for some at the club and he has had plenty of displays where many have questioned how good he is and what he can actually bring to the team that is looking to challenge for trophies.
With Pochettino looking to offload him, it appears he would also be questioning Aurier’s ability, whilst the suggestion that Spurs could look to offload him for a cut-price fee can also speak volumes.
If Tottenham were to offload him in the summer, they must look to bring someone else to the club though, as Kieran Trippier has been far from his best this season as well, whilst Kyle Walker-Peters may not be ready to be involved with Premier League and Champions League football on a regular basis just yet.
