Spurs to punish Aurier for latest lockdown breach
Serge Aurier is set to receive a hefty fine from Tottenham bosses after breaching lockdown rules for a third time, according to the Evening Standard.
Having already made headlines after twice being pictured outside his home, Aurier this week posted a picture on social media of himself after getting a haircut.

In-demand QPR star looks to emulate Tottenham hero
QPR’s Eberechi Eze has pinpointed Dele Alli as an example to follow as he hopes to make the step up in his career.
The attacker who has starred for the hoops in the Championship with 12 goals and eight assists in 37 games, has been linked with a number of top flight clubs - including Spurs - as his reputation continues to grow.
Eze, 21, cited Alli, who signed from MK Dons in 2015, as his inspiration if he were to make a Premier League move.
"He's shown that it's possible to go from lower league and fit right in and even become more than what people expected you to be," he told The Beautiful Game podcast.
"When you look at guys like that, just like Raheem [Sterling] and [Jadon] Sancho, you appreciate what they've done and you look at them and it's a round of applause to you because they've actually done it."
