Top 5 Transfer Rumours of the day: June 23
Here are some of the hot transfer rumours of the day from various European newspapers.
#1 QPR and Tottenham after Arsenal target Serge Aurier
QPR and Tottenham have joined the race to sign Arsenal target Serge Aurier.
The Premier League’s new entrants have made inquiries on Aurier to his club Toulouse, but the price tag of £7m may not be affordable for them. Hence, Arsenal and Tottenham are realistic destinations for the right-back.
Leading the race are the Gunners after it was reported that Arsenal have already struck a 5-year personal deal with Aurier worth £60,000-a-week.
The only road block in the deal is the transfer fee with Arsenal looking to wrap things up for £6.5m whereas the French club are demanding a minimum amount of £7.5m.
With his value increasing after every impressive performance in Brazil, Arsenal officials are racing to sign the Ivory Coast defender as soon as possible after losing their first choice right-back Bacary Sagna to rivals Manchester City.
