Chelsea target Serge Aurier is set to leave Paris Saint Germain and join Premier League rivals Manchester United on a five-year deal with the Red Devils get set to beat the Blues to another player this summer, according to PSG correspondent Loic Tanzi.
The Ivory Coast right-back has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, with Manchester United and Chelsea the two teams battling for his signature but it seems that the Reds have come out on top yet again as they did with Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku.
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte is eager to add depth to his squad before the transfer window slams shut and Aurier was believed to be a target for the Italian.
PSG were asking for around £27 million for the 24-year-old full-back, who has had problems with gaining entry into the United Kingdom. He was denied entry when PSG faced Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League in London.
Conte reportedly wants to make at least three more signings to add to his squad but now it seems he will have to pursue alternative targets.
Aurier has won two French Ligue 1 titles during his time in France after he joined the club from Toulouse.
