Tottenham star Serge Aurier outlines desire to return to Paris Saint-Germain

Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier says he plans to return to former club Paris Saint-Germain one day.

The Ivorian joined Spurs from PSG for £23million in August 2017, and has so far racked up 74 appearances for the north Londoners, with 33 of those coming this season following the summer departure of right-back rival Kieran Trippier.

But the 27-year-old says he plans to one day return to the French capital to see out his career.

"Can I see myself finishing my career at PSG? That is my plan!" Aurier told Canal+ Afrique.

“I would like to finish at PSG. It is before everything else the club of my heart. I have a feeling of unfinished business.

“It has been my club since I was a kid, I would go watch matches at the Parc des Princes. It was a dream for me to come to PSG and for me that dream is not finished.

“If I was to finish my career at PSG, I would love that. I could have spent my entire career at PSG, that certainly wouldn’t have upset me. When you play for the club of your heart, you don’t want to go anywhere else nor do you have regrets.

“There are players who have spent nearly their entire careers at one club because it is love. It is not a question of money or anything else. All my family is in Paris, I am Parisian, I cannot dream of better.

“Today I am having my little career elsewhere, I hope to be the best a bit everywhere. I am following PSG from afar, but it remains my club and that will not change.”

Aurier came through the youth ranks at Lens before a 2012 move to Toulouse, from where he joined PSG, initially on loan, in 2014.
