Serge Aurier recently said that he wanted to leave Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.

According to Tuttosport, AC Milan are interested in signing Serge Aurier from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported by the Italian publication that Milan made an approach already for the Ivory Coast international right-back, but Tottenham turned it down.

Leaving Tottenham Hotspur

Aurier has struggled to play regularly for Tottenham since his move to the North London outfit from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.

The 26-year-old recently told The Daily Mail that he was looking to leave Spurs in the summer transfer window.

The right-back told The Daily Mail: “I was looking for an exit, so I couldn’t play. When you’re trying to move, you can’t play because an injury or whatever else can scupper everything.

“I wanted to leave so it was normal for me to not be on the pitch. Beyond that, it’s the manager’s decision. He’s the one who decides what’s best for the group.”

Staying at Tottenham Hotspur

With Kieran Trippier having left for Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window, Aurier and Kyle Walker-Peters are the only two recognised right-backs in the Tottenham squad at the moment.

It is going to be hard for Spurs to find a suitable replacement for Aurier in the January transfer window, and the North London outfit should hold onto the former PSG right-back until next summer at least.
