Arsenal set to sign £8m Ivory Coast defender

Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Serge Aurier and are set to table an official bid of £8m for Toulouse Left-back according to reports in France. The Ivory Coast International has been on Arsenal's radar recently and would be an ideal replacement following Bacary Sagna's transfer to the Premier League Champions, Manchester City. The Gunners are ready to table £8m as their official bid and are currently waiting to hear from Toulouse wether or not the French side has accepted their bid. It has also been reported that Serge Aurier, who has also attracted interests from Liverpool and QPR agreed a five-year contract worth £60,000 a week with the Gunners, therefore, the transfer can take place any moment from now. Aurier, who is a very pacy defender is capable of playing multiple roles as left back and in
midfield is currently on International duty with Ivory Coast in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.
