Spurs fans have been reacting to a report suggesting that AC Milan are ready to revive their interest in Serge Aurier this summer.
According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews), the Italian side are keen to strike a deal with Spurs for the Ivory Coast international this summer. So far this season, the 27-year-old has been in impressive form for the Lilywhites; averaging a superb 7.18 rating for his performances in the Premier League.
Since signing from PSG in 2017, the right-back has made just 74 appearances for the North London club, perhaps only becoming a first-team regular following the departure of Kieran Trippier last summer. However, despite his impressive form and Spurs’ lack of options in his position, it still seems as if a lot of Lilywhites supporters are keen to see him leave this summer.
Would you like to see Aurier sold this summer?

Get. Him. Out. He’s been such a liability. We need a more reliable right back

Sell Aurier. Directly use that money to buy Aarons. Bring in Meunier for free

These Spurs fans are clearly keen to see Aurier leave the club this summer, with a couple of fans suggesting they use the money to bring in reported transfer target Max Aarons instead.
What do we think?
These Spurs fans are perhaps being overly-harsh on the £14.4 million-rated man, considering he has been their third-best performer in the Premier League this season. However, considering the Lilywhites have kept just four clean sheets in the top-flight this season, it is perhaps no surprise to see many fans hoping for defensive improvements.
