Tottenham right-back Serge Aurier has once again found himself in hot water
Spurs chiefs are furious with the £70,000-a-week defender for his latest breach and are believed to be considering handing him the maximum fine possible of two weeks wages.
It could also put his future at the North London club in jeopardy – although that largely depends on the state of the transfer market when the window eventually reopens after the coronavirus lockdown.
Tottenham’s hierarchy feel Aurier has embarrassed the club with his lockdown transgressions.
He was first spotted out running with a pal – before he posted another online pic alongside team-mate Moussa Sissoko.
Spurs warned the pair about their future conduct and the disgraced duo issued a grovelling apology and made a donation to the NHS.
Aurier’s reaction to his latest coronavirus controversy has also not gone down well with club chiefs.
The full-back remained defiant, even though hairdressers are closed in the UK under government regulations.

But Aurier later posted updates on Instagram where after writing “Bla-bla-bla” followed by snoozing emojis, he added: “My hairdresser is negative and me too so stop talking in a vacuum and put on masks and gloves when you come to take pictures at the training centre.
“It’s part of the rules too.”
That outburst could be the final straw for Spurs as Aurier may well discover the last cut is the deepest.
