Tottenham star willing to quit the club in January and join Italian giants

Serge Aurier interested in joining AC Milan during the winter window

SportMediaset claims that Tottenham defender Serge Aurier is interested in joining AC Milan during the January transfer window (h/t Express).

The Ivorian wasn’t the first-choice right-back at the start of the season with Kyle Walker-Peters being preferred by Mauricio Pochettino.

However, the former PSG man has started our last two Premier League games and was one of the best players in the 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Pochettino has also played Davinson Sanchez in that position after Walker-Peters’ injury and Aurier only came in after the Colombian struggled.

Although the Ivorian is back in the team, the report claims that Aurier is open to leaving London.

Andrea Conti has struggled to perform for the Italians, and Milan see Aurier as a cheap option to replace the right-back (h/t Express).

Aurier is valued at £14m, according to the Express, and had only joined Spurs from PSG in 2017. The Ivorian has had his injury problems since joining the club, and it will be interesting to see if Spurs allow him to leave in January.

However, that would further reduce our options at the back as we allowed Kieran Trippier to join Atletico Madrid in the summer.
