Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier is attracting the attention of teams back in France.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, Serge Aurier now wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham are facing interest from French clubs in the right-back, and Aurier is said to be keen on a departure from White Hart Lane.

The Ivorian joined Tottenham for £23 million back in 2017 (BBC Sport), but he has rarely showed enough consistency.

Tottenham may not been too keen on selling him this summer though, as their options at right-back are already short.

Tottenham have lost Kieran Trippier to Atletico Madrid already, which means that Aurier is their most experience option of the right hand side of their defence.

Tottenham only have Kyle Walker-Peters and Jan Foyth who can also play there.

If Aurier did leave it would be a risky move by Spurs, as it could leave them very short for the season ahead.

And it remains to be seen whether Pochettino will decide to keep Aurier around, even though he reportedly wishes to leave.
