‘I trust him’ - Mauricio Pochettino confident summer signing Serge Aurier will grab second chance at Tottenham

Mauricio Pochettino insists he has wiped the slate clean with new Tottenham signing Serge Aurier.

Aurier joined Spurs for £23million from Paris Saint-Germain this summer and Pochettino is hoping the defender proves a reformed character in north London.

The 24-year-old was banned by his former club for directing homophobic language at his then-manager Laurent Blanc and was then convicted of assaulting a police officer outside a nightclub in Paris.

Pochettino places a strong emphasis on discipline at Tottenham but said he trusts Aurier to take his second chance.

"I spoke with him, of course, about different things but I'm a person that likes to move on," Pochettino said.
