Napoli are reportedly keen on the Tottenham Hotspur defender.
According to a report from respected Italian football expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli are interested in signing Tottenham defender Serge Aurier this summer, as Carlo Ancelotti looks to bolster his right-back options before the start of the new season.
The 25-year-old joined Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £23 million, but he failed to establish himself as a first-team regular, with Mauricio Pochettino preferring Kieran Trippier as his first choice right-back.
The Ivory Coast international surely has to be given more time to prove himself, however, what with the huge jump up in both quality and intensity that a move from Ligue 1 to the Premier League entails.
Gianluca Di Marzio claims that Napoli are considering a move for Aurier, although there is no mention of an kind of fee, or whether Tottenham would be willing to sell the right-back.
With Trippier’s magnificent form over the past 12 months, however, and Kyle Walker-Peters’ impressive displays on Spurs’ US tour, Pochettino might just be tempted into sanctioning the Ivorian’s exit from the club.
