Tottenham’s transfer rivals plan move for Serge Aurier.

Serge Aurier may be close to a move to Tottenham Hotspur, but Juventus are not giving up.

L’Equipe report Juventus are closely monitoring Aurier’s situation, with the defender awaiting clearance to join Spurs.

Aurier is hoping to overturn a conviction he has in France, which he needs to do in order to acquire a work permit.

L’Equipe reported he hoped to have this yesterday, but is still waiting and his move to Tottenham remains stuck in limbo.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is said to be worried about the time taken to resolve the legal issue blocking the transfer.

Juventus had reportedly already agreed provisional personal terms with Aurier, and are willing to pounce if his situation with Spurs remains as it is.

Aurier is keen to move from from PSG after slipping down the pecking order at right-back after Dani Alves’ arrival. Juventus have an opportunity for him following the Brazilian’s departure.

L’Equipe claim Juventus plan to sign Aurier on a five month loan, before signing him permanently in January.
