Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier says he was glad to join Moussa Sissoko at the club.

The pair played together at Toulouse several years ago, and Aurier says it has been easier to settle because of his pal.

Speaking to SFR Sport, Aurier says he has been able to instantly adapt of the pitch.

He said: “My integration is good. I know a few people, especially Moussa (Sissoko), with whom I played in Toulouse, so I can integrate as best I can.

“I was very pleased to be in this dressing room.”

Aurier clinched his move on transfer deadline day but went straight off on international duty with Ivory Coast.

This meant he had just one day’s training before their league match with Everton, which he sat out.

He made his debut in the big Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund and looked on top of his game.

At the weekend he was a substitute in the 0-0 draw with Swansea.

Already the right-back appears to be a valuable addition to the Tottenham squad, and is only likely to get even better as he gets to know his teammates even more.
