Aurier responds to latest lockdown breach allegations
Tottenham defender Serge Aurier has responded to the latest allegations thrown at him for breaking lockdown rules.

The latest incident follows Aurier posting a photo of himself and his hairdresser in very close proximity after the defender had his haircut.
However, the Spurs defender took to Instagram to respond to the latest allegations after the club revealed they would investigate the matter.
The former Paris Saint-Germain defender said on his Instagram story: "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.”
Vertonghen considering move to Spain
Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen is expected to leave the club in the summer and is said to be considering an offer from Spanish side Real Betis.
Spurs have already been looking elsewhere for a central defender, with Vertonghen expected to leave once his contract expires.
Italian sides Roma and Inter Milan are believed to be admirers of the 33-year-old, and likewise Valencia.
However, Betis seem to be front-runners, according to the Daily Star, and have already made an offer to sign the Belgian defender.
