Speaking to Football Insider, a Tottenham Hotspur source has shared that Ligue 1 giants Paris-Saint Germain are now '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 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).

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 at Old Trafford.

The 66-cap international ace also started more Premier League games than 2020 summer signing Matt Doherty at right-back (WhoScored), 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 in particular.
