Manchester United had also agreed personal terms with Aurier this month but it appears they have lost out to Tottenham.

Legal issues surrounding the Ivory Coast star are stalling any move to the Premier League.

Aurier, 24, is awaiting clearance on a work permit following an assault charge he received in September.

But L'Equipe reports he is ready to cross the Channel as soon as possible having had a medical in Paris.

And the move could be announced in just a matter of days, with the transfer window slamming shut in one week.

However, since Aurier's medical took place in the French capital, it suggest he is still forbidden from entering the UK.

Aurier has Champions League experience and has won two Ligue 1 titles, three French Cups and French League Cups.
