Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made contact over a deal for Serge Aurier.
According to French outlet Telefoot, Tottenham Hotspur have made an approach to Paris Saint-Germain over a possible deal for defender Serge Aurier.
Spurs may not have signed any new players this summer, but they have been involved in a major deal having sold right back Kyle Walker to Manchester City in a big-money deal earlier this month.

Whilst Kieran Trippier has signed a new contract and figures to be the favourite to replace Walker as Tottenham’s first-choice right back, Mauricio Pochettino may still want to bring in another right back in Walker’s place.
Now, Telefoot in France report that Tottenham are keen to sign Paris Saint-Germain defender Serge Aurier, and have made contact with the French giants about a potential deal.
The report claims that Inter Milan are vying with Spurs for his signature, but Juventus have backed out of the race for Aurier having signed AC Milan right back Mattia De Sciglio earlier this week.
Aurier, 24, joined PSG on loan from Toulouse in 2014, and having made that move permanent a year later, the Ivory Coast international has been an important player at the Parc des Princes.

However, PSG signed Thomas Meunier last summer and Dani Alves this summer, meaning Aurier may now be the third-choice right back under Unai Emery, with a summer move now seemingly on the cards.
With impressive speed, energy and crossing ability, Aurier could be a like-for-like replacement for Walker, but it’s unclear just how much PSG would demand for the former Lens star as Tottenham chase their first summer signing.
