Spurs sign up bad boy Aurier
TOTTENHAM are on the brink of signing Kyle Walker’s replacement after Serge Aurier was granted a work permit. The Ivorian right back can now sign a five-year contract after Spurs agreed a £23m deal with Paris Saint-Germain. Aurier, 24, had been waiting for a decision from the British Home Office after the Government previously denied him entry to the country for PSG’s Champions League trip to Arsenal last November. This was because Aurier assaulted a French police officer outside a Paris nightclub and was handed a suspended two-month jail sentence. The misdemeanour is just one of many blemishes on Aurier’s c.v. Earlier in 2016, PSG suspended the defender and banned him from firstteam training for a month after he was filmed making homophobic slurs towards his own manager Laurent Blanc and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Tottenham have also announced the signing of Argentina Under 20 international Juan Foyth from Estudiantes. The 19-year-old defender has also signed a five-year deal.
