Tottenham are on the brink of sealing their replacement for Kyle Walker after securing a work permit for Paris Saint-Germain full-back Serge Aurier.
Aurier, 24, had been awaiting a decision from the British Home Office after the government previously declined him entry into the country for the Champions League trip to Arsenal last November.
This was because Aurier assaulted a French police officer outside a Paris nightclub and received a suspended two month prison sentence. He was also give a £550 fine and paid £1,400 in damages.
However, he has subsequently been afforded a British work permit and can now sign a five-year contract as Tottenham have agreed a £23m deal with PSG.
