Serge Aurier is expected to become the 19th signing for Nottingham Forest this summer. The player was available as a free agent, after leaving Villarreal at the end of the season, and is now on his way back to the Premier League.
The likes of Neco Williams and Harry Toffolo are already available, and the Ivorian will provide some well-needed experience at the back for Steve Cooper’s side. The player has completed his medical assessment for the move, and it seems only a matter of time before his arrival is made official by the club.
Serge Aurier to join Nottingham Forest
The right-back signed for Tottenham in 2017 from PSG, and had an initial impressive spell before losing his place to Matt Doherty and Emerson Royal. The defender eventually moved on to Villarreal, after his contract was terminated.
But, injuries prevented him from extending his stay with the Spanish side, and he is now on his way back to England. Nottingham Forest have performed a total overhaul of their squad in an attempt to stay up in the Premier League, with 19 new players, once the arrival of Serge Aurier is confirmed.
If Aurier joins the club within the next few hours, he could make his debut against his former club when the two play on Sunday.
