According to the Evening Standard, Tottenham are expected to complete the signing of Paris Saint-Germain right back and Chelsea target, Serge Aurier.
The fee for Aurier is worth £23 million if all goes well with his appeal against his ban from the UK, after being found guilty of assaulting a police officer last September.
His ban from the UK subsequently made him miss out on PSG’s Champions League tie against Arsenal.
Despite Kyle Walker-Peters signing a new deal at Spurs, they want to replace Kyle Walker, who joined Manchester City for £50 million.
Chelsea were interested in Aurier to try and bolster their squad and defensive options as they prepare for their return to the Champions League and their defence of the Premier League title.
They also wanted to sign the Ivorian to compete with Victor Moses for the right-wing-back spot, with the Nigerian having little to no competition last season.
