Fans of Tottenham Hotspur have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which included images of Serge Aurier taking part in some individual pre-season training.
Aurier has been heavily linked with a move away from Spurs this summer, with it being reported that Serie A side AC Milan are interested in a £13 million move for the right-back, however, with Tottenham’s asking price being around £22 million, it appears the clubs are still a long way off an agreement.
As such, at present, Aurier remains a Spurs player, and the club recently shared some images on Twitter of the Ivory Coast international working on his fitness in the off-season.
In reaction to their post, fans of the club flocked to have their say on the matter, with many calling for their club to sell the player this summer.
We're hyping him up to increase the market value aren't we ?

One fan even claimed that the defender isn’t worth £20 million, which relates to the price tag ( €23 million, £20.7 million) that has reportedly (as per Tuttosport, via Milan News) been set by the north London club.
Lower the asking price, not worth 20 million

Despite the fact these Spurs fans apparently seem keen for Aurier to move away from the club this summer, the right-back actually enjoyed a fine season last time out.
Over his 33 Premier League appearances, the 27-year-old scored one goal and provided five assists, averaging a WhoScored match rating of 7.06 – ranking him as the club’s third-best performer in the league.
In addition to this, Aurier also impressed in the Champions League, scoring a further goal and providing another two assists over his five appearances in the competition, averaging a match rating of 7.08.
And it would seem that other Spurs fans would much rather see the player stay at the club for next season.
Do you think Spurs should sell or keep Aurier this summer?
Keep him
Sell him
Don’t know why he gets so much stick he’s a quality player, lacks a bit of discipline sometimes but so what. we should keep him!!

@Serge_aurier is an incredible player in his position. He’s a great right-back who loves what he does and loves the club. His defensive game and offensive are both strong. All he needs to do is practice his crossings. I don’t understand why there is so much hate for this guy.

It would appear from their comments that these Spurs fans are split on their opinion of Aurier, with some wanting the player to leave their club this summer, while others are more than happy for him to stay.
And, considering his performances last season, we would have to agree with the latter argument.
