Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with Paris Saint-Germain’s Serge Aurier.
According to the latest edition of France Football, Tottenham Hotspur aren’t keen on paying the €25million (£22.35million) fee for Paris Saint-Germain right back Serge Aurier.
Spurs have yet to make a new signing this summer, and are the only Premier League club who haven’t brought in a new face – but they have overseen the sale of Kyle Walker to Manchester City.

Walker’s big-money departure leaves Tottenham with more money to spend in the transfer market, but whilst Kieran Trippier may well replace him at right back, another option may be pursued.
Recent links have suggested that Spurs want to sign Paris Saint-Germain’s Serge Aurier, but the latest edition of France Football claims that Tottenham aren’t too keen on the €25million (£22.35million) asking price on his head.
The report adds that Spurs are hoping to bide their time in their pursuit of Aurier, in the hope that PSG will lower their asking price near to the end of the summer transfer window.
Aurier, 24, joined PSG on loan from Toulouse in 2014, before penning a permanent deal a year later, and he has been a first-team regular at that Parc des Princes over the last three years.

However, Aurier not only only playing time to Thomas Meunier last season, but may now be third choice under Unai Emery after PSG swooped to land Dani Alves from Juventus earlier this summer.
PSG may want to cash in on Aurier, and Spurs may view him as a perfect replacement for Walker due to his pace and crossing ability up the right flank – but Daniel Levy looks set to wait in the hope of driving the price down for the Ivory Coast international.
