SERGE AURIER revealed he dreams of returning to Paris Saint-Germain and ending his career with the French giants.
The defender, 27, is in his third season with Tottenham and benefitting from Kieran Trippier’s departure to Atletico.
Serge Aurier may be Spurs’ first-choice right-back but admits he still loves PSG and hopes to return there to end his career
He has played 33 times across all competitions this season, scoring against Olympiacos and Wolves.
But the right-back insists his heart is still with PSG, where he feels he has “unfinished business”.
Aurier told Canal+ Afrique: “If I can see myself finish my career at PSG? That is even my plan!
“I would like to finish at PSG. It is before everything else the club of my heart.
“I have a feeling of unfinished business. It has been my club since I was a kid, I would go watch matches at the Parc des Princes.
“It was a dream for me to come to PSG and for me that dream is not finished. If I was to finish my career at PSG, I would love that.”
I am following PSG from afar, but it remains my club and that will not change.
Serge Aurier
Aurier started out at Lens, progressing through the youth ranks and spending two-and-a-half years in the first team before signing at Toulouse.
After another two-and-a-half years, and six goals in his final season, he joined PSG – initially on loan for the season before penning a four-year deal in 2015.
But a series of controversies in 2016/17 ensured his spell was cut short.
He called Angel Di Maria a “clown”, aimed a homophobic slur at coach Laurent Blanc and criticised the alleged favouritism shown towards striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and was suspended in February, then completed a switch to Spurs just before the summer transfer window closed.
Speaking about his love for PSG who are chasing a seventh Ligue 1 title in eight years, though, Aurier added: “I could have spent my entire career at PSG, that certainly wouldn’t have upset me.
“When you play for the club of your heart, you don’t want to go anywhere else nor do you have regrets.
“There are players who have spent nearly their entire careers at one club because it is love. It is not a question of money or anything else.
“All my family is in Paris, I am Parisian, I cannot dream of better. Aside from that, today, I am having my little career elsewhere, I hope to be the best a bit everywhere.
“I am following PSG from afar, but it remains my club and that will not change.”
