Aurier signs for Villarreal
Serge Aurier has completed a move to La Liga side Villarreal.
The Ivory Coast international was a free agent after mutually terminating his deal with Spurs over the summer and was briefly linked with a shock move to north London rivals Arsenal.

He has signed a one-year deal with the option to extend until 2024.
