SERGE AURIER, a target for for Spurs, has revealed Arsenal made an approach for him.
The 21-year-old impressed at the World Cup for the Ivory Coast and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is rumoured to be considering a bid for the right-back.
Aurier, who plays for Toulouse, has made it clear his dream of playing for the Gunners, but would consider a switch to the Gunners bitter rivals.
He told Le10Sport: "True Arsenal has always attracted me, I've never hidden my attraction to this club that makes me dream, but it's not just Arsenal, the city of London I really like and also the Premier League too, I'd really like to move to this league one day.
"Everyone lingered on the transfer of 'Aurier to Arsenal' because it's true, there has been an approach and a desire to make me sign Arsenal.
"But hey, it does not happen and that's that."
Spurs will have to move quick though as Paris St Germain look to be the front runners for Aurier's signature.
