Fenerbahce enter talks with Serge Aurier
Fenerbahce could solve their issues at right-back this summer as they eye up a move for Serge Aurier.
According to the football transfer rumours in British and Turkish media, Fenerbahce are set to sign ex-Tottenham right-back Serge Aurier.
The 28-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.
In 110 appearances for Tottenham, Serge Aurier has managed to score 8 goals, and create 17 goals for his teammates.
The 28-year-old is considered to be one of the best right-backs in Ivory Coast.
His record for Ivory Coast is also impressive. Aurier has scored 2 goals in 66 matches for Ivory Coast at senior level.
Vítor Pereira wants to sign a new right-back and Aurier is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. He is a firm fan of ex-Tottenham right-back and Fenerbahce could make a move for the player if the financial aspect makes sense.
The Turkish giants are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.
The right-back can also play as a full-back, offering Vítor Pereira a different option should he change his formation at Fenerbahce. Serge Aurier has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.

Fenerbahce will have to come up with the right proposal to convince Aurier to join the club.
Good signing for Fenerbahce?
Undoubtedly, he would be a fantastic recruit for Fenerbahce.
A move to Fenerbahce is exactly what Aurier needs to reignite his career, and we hope he is able to do just that.
Serge Aurier has all the skillset required to be a success story at Fenerbahce. Therefore, it makes sense for Pereira to step up his attempts to bring the Ivory Coast right-back to Super Lig side.
Fenerbahce fans would certainly love to see him arrive at the club.
If Vítor Pereira sees him as the right man for his side, Fenerbahce should quickly make a move to fend off interest from other clubs.
