Monaco have touched base with Tottenham Hotspur over signing right-back Serge Aurier, according to France Football.

The Ivory Coast defender has endured a poor second season in North London which was hit by a lack of fitness and form for the most part.

Aurier, who joined Tottenham from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, managed only eight Premier League appearances this season.

Even when he was fit, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino would tend to pick Kieran Trippier ahead of him.

Such has been his low-profile season, Monaco have made contact over bringing him to Stade Louis II this summer, reports France Football.

The report adds that the Lilywhites defender is now only worth £13 million, £10 million less than what Pochettino paid for him two years ago.

Trippier, by his own admission, has had a poor season and it’ll be interesting to see who Pochettino selects to face Liverpool in Saturday’s Champions League final in Madrid.

The former Toulouse ace hasn’t played since March, however, so the Englishman is much fitter.
