Spurs fans reacted to news that Serge Aurier is set to be offered a new contract with the club.
According to Foot Mercato (via Ricky Sacks), the Ivory Coast international is ready to start negotiations with the North London club over a new deal. The 27-year-old reportedly feels revitalised under Jose Mourinho’s management and wants to commit his long-term future to the club.
Aurier has been in excellent form so far this season; averaging an impressive 7.29 rating in the Premier League; which is the second-highest of any Spurs player. The former PSG man has emerged as first-choice right-back at the club, following Kieran Trippier’s departure during the summer and with Kyle Walker-Peters having joined Southampton on loan this transfer window, Mourinho clearly trusts him in that position.
Does Aurier deserve a new contract?
Yes
No

Some Spurs fans clearly feel that Aurier deserves a new contract at the club and will be hoping to see him sign an extension as soon as possible.
What do we think?
Aurier has been impressive this season and with his current deal set to run out at the end of the 2021/22 season, it seems a good idea to get him tied down to a longer deal before his performances begin to attract interest from other clubs.
