New Tottenham signing Serge Aurier has told the official Confederation of African Football (CAF) website that he was offered a three-year contract to stay at Paris Saint-Germain but says he was undervalued in France and there was "too much fuss" over his conviction for assault in France.
Aurier, 24, could make his Spurs debut at Everton on Saturday after signing from PSG for £23 million on transfer deadline day, as a replacement for England right-back Kyle Walker, who joined Manchester City in July.
The Ivory Coast international was deemed surplus to requirements at PSG after the signing of Dani Alves but he claims he rejected an offer to remain at the Parc des Princes, which is reported to have been made before the end of last season.
