LONDON. — Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Ivory Coast defender Serge Aurier. According to reports in France, the Gunners have agreed an £8m deal with Ligue 1 side Toulouse to secure Aurier’s services. The Ivorian has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates this summer as and is seen by many to be the direct replacement for Bacary Sagna who left the Emirates last week to join Premier League champions Manchester City. Aurier (21) is a versatile player who can play at right or left-back as well as a holding role in midfield.
The Toulouse defender admitted last month that it was his dream to play for Arsenal and he couldn’t turn down a move to the Emirates if the Gunners made an approach for him. — Daily Star.
