Arsenal agree terms to sign Ivor Coast defender Serge Aurier

According to reports in France, Arsenal have agreed an £8m deal with Ligue 1 side Toulouse to sign Ivory Coast defender  Aurier.

The Ivorian has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates this summer as and is seen by many to be the direct replacement for Bacary Sagna who left the Emirates last week to to join Premier League champions Manchester City.

Aurier, 21, is a versatile player who can play at right or left-back as well as a holding role in midfield.

According to French newspaper L'Equipe Arsenal have offered Aurier a five-year-deal which would see the Ivory Coast international earn £60,000 a week.
