Serge Aurier's transfer has taken another twist.
The Paris Saint-Germain defender continues to be subject to intense transfer speculation as he remains heavily linked with a move to the Premier League.
Manchester United and Chelsea have expressed an interest, with Jose Mourinho reportedly on the verge of completing the signing just last week.

Reports had surfaced claiming that the Ivorian had agreed a five-year contract though it appears Mourinho is set to lose out on his services.
According to French outlet L'Equipe, Aurier has now agreed personal terms with fellow English side Spurs.

Despite reportedly agreeing personal terms, Spurs still face competition to his signature. The 24-year-old is also believed to be in talks with Serie A duo Juventus and Inter Milan.
Aurier is hoping to secure his move away from France and is attracting plenty of interest with his transfer hotting up.

If Spurs do complete the deal, it'll be Mauricio Pochettino's first summer signing of the window. He's yet to bring anyone in following their second place finish in the league, last season.
Though the club have sold right-back Kyle Walker for a whopping £50 million to Manchester City, so, needless to say, Pochettino is seeking for a replacement.

The Argentine boss drafted in youngster Kyle Walker-Peters as a result and started over the weekend in the opening game of the league.

Spurs got their league campaign off to a winning start as they inflicted new boys Newcastle with a 2-0 defeat courtesy of goals from Dele Alli and Ben Davies.
But as they mount another challenge for the league, not to mention contesting in the Champions Leagues, Pochettino will be eager to bolster his side before the window slam shuts.
