JAKARTA - Ivory Coast full-back Serge Aurier has reportedly opened up the opportunity to join the English Premier League club Arsenal.

Quoted by Antara from Sky Sports, Friday, this might happen after he and Tottenham Hotspur agreed to terminate his contract.

Actually, Aurier still has one year left on his contract with Tottenham, but both agreed to end it sooner.

After the expiration of his contract with Spurs, Aurier admitted that he still wanted to play in England, and this statement provoked several English clubs to continue to monitor Aurier's situation, including Arsenal.

Arsenal is still monitoring the situation from Aurier even though they have brought in Japanese full-back from Bologna, Takehiro Tomiyasu.

The Gunners see Aurier can add strength to their defense after losing back-to-back in their first three Premier League games.

Tottenham had actually tried to find a club for Aurier in the last transfer market and attracted the attention of clubs from France, Russia, and Turkey.

However, there was no suitable offer from the club interested in Aurier, which finally made both parties agree to end their cooperation even though the player still wants to complete his contract.

If in the end, Aurier does cross to Arsenal, he will follow in the footsteps of several players, including William Gallas, Emannuel Adebayor, and Sol Campbell who have joined earlier.

Aurier came to Tottenham from Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 and managed to make 110 appearances and contributed 8 goals and 17 assists.
