1. Is Serge Aurier really done?
Tottenham’s right back position has been the club’s busiest spot of the summer. From the moment that rumours of Kyle Walker’s move to Manchester City surfaced, the club became obsessed with adding a replacement.
Ironically, it appears that it will have taken Levy up until Deadline Day to finally secure a reasonable replacement. That player, of course, is the controversial fullback Serge Aurier.
On the field, it’s very possible he is an upgrade over Walker. He has similar pace to the English international but has displayed superior skill and decision-making in the final third. Unfortunately, his decision-making off the pitch has been a complete joke.
I think it’s pretty obvious that Pochettino is going to get the chance to save Aurier’s career and help him grow up off the pitch. Too many sources have claimed that the signing is “imminent.” Tottenham helped him obtain his work visa and seem destined to formally announce him today.
Next: Tottenham can't afford to sell two massive flops
Time will tell if this becomes Tottenham’s best or worst transfer in recent memory. Given Aurier’s talent and attitude it’s highly improbable it will land anywhere in between.
