Chelsea Set To Lose Another Top Target

Paris Saint-Germain star player Serge Aurier is a hot prospect this summer after emerging as a target for a handful of top clubs across Europe including Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

But according to new reports (via the Evening Standard), the player is expected to complete a move to Tottenham and Chelsea will miss out on getting his signature.

The player has made an appeal against his ban from the UK after he was found guilty of assaulting a police officer last year that saw him miss out on his side’s Champions League match against Arsenal.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to replace Kyle Walker who was sold earlier this summer to Manchester City, and is expected to bring in Serge for £23 million if the ban get lifted.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is keen on adding more quality to his squad for the busy season coupled with Champions League football.

He desires to bring in an experience upgrade to Nigerian star Victor Moses who has no competition last season.

With the transfer window closing next week Thursday, it appears Chelsea will lose Aurier to Tottenham after losing out on signing Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United earlier in the window.

Chelsea won Mauricio Pochettino’s side 2-1 at Wembley on Sunday to register their first premier league win of the season.
