The French club are forced to sell in order to comply with Financial Fair Play rules, and they will bid farewell to Serge Aurier. The right-back had been poised to leave the club all summer and has come to an agreement with Spurs.

PSG will receive 25 million euros for their second departure of the transfer window. Following the exit of Matuidi, who will strengthen the midfield at Juventus, Emery's side will say goodbye to Serge Aurier.

The full-back had fallen down the pecking order in Paris due to his antics off the pitch, and will join Tottenham Hotspur, as reported by 'L'Equipe'.

Yet to be confirmed officially, Aurier will turn down offers from Chelsea and Manchester United, among others, and will join Pochettino's side, where he has a guaranteed spot in the starting lineup after Walker's move to Manchester City.

His spell as PSG sees him leave out the back door, having arrived a star in 2014. Not meeting the demanding expectations, he will now try his luck in the Premier League, a competition tailored to his physical condition.
