AC Milan reportedly want to sign the Tottenham Hotspur defender.
According to a report from French publication Soccer Link, AC Milan want to sign Tottenham right-back Serge Aurier on loan before the end of this month, with an option to buy.
The 26-year-old joined Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth £23 million, according to BBC Sport, and he has gone on to make 41 appearances in all competitions for the north London outfit.
Having sold Kieran Trippier to Atletico Madrid earlier this summer, Mauricio Pochettino has Aurier, Kyle Walker-Peters and Juan Foyth to choose from in the right-back position.
Allowing Aurier to leave, however, would be a massive gamble from the Tottenham boss.
Soccer Link claims that is exactly what might happen, with Milan wanting to sign the 55-capped Ivory Coast international on a season-long loan, with an option to buy next summer.
The obvious problem for Tottenham is that they will not be able to bring in a replacement for Aurier until January, if they do indeed decide to move him on.
And only time will tell whether Pochettino believes he can do without the 26-year-old for the remainder of the season.
