Serge Aurier is a car crash at right-back for Tottenham, most of the Spurs fans will tell you that much. However, the club now seems to be doing something about it as AS Roma Live have claimed that the Lilywhites are eyeing up a move for Ajax’s young defender Noussair Mazraoui.

The Moroccan defender has made a name for himself at Ajax and now, with Spurs desperate for a decent right-back as the fans suffer through shocking performances from Aurier on a weekly basis, adding the youngster looks like a brilliant potential move.
At the age of just 21-years-old, the defender has already managed 64 games, four goals and five assists for the reigning Dutch champions (Transfermarkt), his career has only just begun, and a move to Spurs could truly propel the youngster to the world stage.

The fans seem to like the idea of bringing Mazraoui in over the course of the transfer window, although any new right-back who isn’t Aurier would be welcomed.
