Tottenham Sign Controversial PSG Full-back Serge Aurier For £23m

Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Ivory Coast International, Serge Aurier from Paris Saint Germain.

The right-back signed a contract worth £23 million with the Club until 2022 and will wear the number 24 shirt.

While at the Parc des Princes, Serge won two Ligue 1 titles, three French Cups, three French League Cups, four French Super Cups and was named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year for a second time in 2015-16.

Serge said;

“This is a huge and exciting opportunity at a massive football club and I am determined to prove myself as a professional both on and off the pitch.

This is a fresh start for me and I will do everything to make the Spurs fanbase, which is huge and diverse, proud of me.

The fans are the most important people at any club and I am looking forward to showing them and everyone at Spurs the real Serge Aurier.”

The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international, Aurier, was given a suspended two-month jail sentence last year for an assault on a police officer outside a nightclub in Paris.

However he protested his innocence and appealed. The conviction had prevented him from entering the United Kingdom last November when PSG played Arsenal in the Champions League and it stood to derail his proposed move to Tottenham.
