According to Sky Sports,<\/a> former Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> right-back Serge Aurier wouldn\u2019t be against a move to Arsenal and would, in fact, consider it if an offer came in. Terminating his contract in the final hour of the transfer window, the Frenchman was left without a club at the worst time possible. As a free agent, he is still able to complete a move, but being suddenly launched into the market wouldn\u2019t have been ideal.<\/p>\n

Having just signed Takehiro Timiyasu<\/a>, who mainly operates as a right-back, the question needs to be asked as to whether Arsenal actually need Serge Aurier. It\u2019s always nice to have backup options, yes, but not an overload. Mikel Arteta, following Tomiyasu\u2019s arrival, now has Cedric Soares and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who he has promised game time to,<\/a> waiting in the wings. Adding Aurier would leave the Spaniard with an unnecessary selection headache.<\/p>\n

Frenchman Wants England Stay<\/h3>\n

Based in England since the summer of 2017, Aurier is reportedly keen to stay put in the Premier League. So far, the only team mentioned has been Spurs\u2019 north London rivals, Arsenal, however, making for a difficult situation to negotiate. Whether the move comes into fruition or not, remains to be seen, but it would certainly cause quite the stir if it did.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have already had a dramatic season for all of the wrong reasons, losing all three of their opening Premier League games against Brentford, Chelsea and Manchester City respectively, without scoring a single goal.<\/p>\n

Next up after the international break is a game against fellow early-strugglers Norwich City. If Arsenal fail to pick up the three points against the Canaries, then Mikel Arteta\u2019s job will be more at risk than ever before at the Emirates. When considering the money thrown the squad\u2019s way this summer, the manager simply cannot afford to fall short again.<\/p>\n
