# Tottenham: Serge Aurier set to leave

**Tottenham Hotspur right-back Serge Aurier is set to leave the club and reunite with Mauricio Pochettino at Paris Saint-Germain in a €20m (£17.2m) move, according to Italian journalist [Rudy Galetti](https://twitter.com/RudyGaletti/status/1404158322442485763).**

### The lowdown

Spurs signed Aurier from the French capital in 2017 for a fee [in the region of £23million](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41081740).

He penned a [five-year deal](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41081740) on arrival, meaning he’s about to enter the last 12 months of his contract.

Aurier has made [more than 100 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/serge-aurier/leistungsdaten/spieler/127032) during his stint at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Last season, he played [27 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/serge-aurier/leistungsdaten/spieler/127032), scoring twice and adding three assists. Two of those goal contributions came in the 6-1 rout of Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has marvelled at the Ivorian, [describing him](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/fixtures-results/ryan-mason-manchester-final-live-20464029) as ‘so good and so fast’.

### The latest

Galetti reports that Aurier ‘will be’ returning to PSG and working under Pochettino once again.

That’s after the French runners-up tabled an offer of €20million for his services.

Intriguingly, he adds that PSG’s proposed move for Inter Milan’s Achraf Hakimi now becomes ‘more complicated’.

Spurs’ rivals Chelsea have [also been credited](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1402384010832142337) with an interest in Hakimi and may be encouraged to make a move knowing that a potential other suitor have eyes on another target.

### The verdict

Aurier has lacked consistency in his performances at Spurs, and fans must always have been slightly concerned when he set foot on the pitch.

Still, €20million would be a very good return for a player close to the end of his deal, and they could put it towards a new name.

Matt Doherty, an alternative option, didn’t do enough in his first season at the club to suggest he merits a first-choice role, so Spurs still need to address this problem position.
