Tottenham Hotspur want a staggering £35 million for Serge Aurier this summer, according to the Daily Mirror.

Aurier has been linked with an exit from Spurs, with AC Milan and Monaco both keen.

However, Daniel Levy is rather ambitiously hoping to make £12 million profit in the right-back Spurs paid £23 million for three years ago (BBC Sport).

Levy is renowned as a tough negotiator but getting such a large fee for a right-back who has had, at best, an indifferent time at Tottenham would have to rank among his finest work.

Aurier has improved under the guidance of Jose Mourinho, but he has still looked unreliable defensively, and there is a feeling that he needs to be upgraded if Tottenham are to kick on.

Spurs will surely have to sign a right-back if Aurier does leave though, as their options in the position currently look very short.

Other than Aurier, Tottenham only really have Juan Foyth and Japhet Tanganga who can play on the right-hand side of defence in their current squad, and the pair are both more comfortable in central roles.
