Spartak Moscow are locked in talks with Tottenham over a deal for Serge Aurier.

Spartak hope to take Aurier on a season-long loan with the option to sign permanently next June.

Aurier, himself, also wants to change teams as he seeks greater playing time.

Just yesterday, Spartak chief Shamil Gazizov told Sport-Express: "Top level player. If he comes to Spartak, we will, of course, be reinforced.

"But I will neither deny nor confirm anything. We are working on several players.

"We have several directions in this regard, there is still time ahead."
