Monaco 'Enter Negotiations' With Tottenham over Serge Aurier

Fernando Llorente standing in front of a crowd: Tottenham Hotspur v Borussia Dortmund - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg

According to ​France Football, Monaco are interested in bringing the Ivorian back to Ligue 1 following his unsuccessful stint in England as they look to bounce back from a horrendous league campaign.

​Aurier has fallen out of favour with Mauricio Pochettino and also struggled with injuries, making only eight league appearances for the Lilywhites with the Spurs boss preferring ​Kieran Trippier despite the Englishman having a similarly disappointing season.

​The report states the former PSG defender would provide competition for Djibril Sidibe. Monaco are in need of reinforcements following their close call with relegation, just a few years after winning Ligue 1.

Aurier is more than familiar with Ligue 1, having had spells at Lens, Toulouse and Paris Saint-Germain, and won France's top flight twice during his time with Les Parisiens.

Interestingly, the rumour comes from French journalist Nabil Djellit, who broke the news of Lucas Moura’s transfer from PSG to Tottenham in 2018.

Trippier's future is also uncertain, with the former Burnley defender thought to be considering his future after being omitted from Gareth Southgate's England squad for the Nations League finals.

Monaco are interested in Serge Aurier and have already entered negotiations with Tottenham in an effort to sign the Ivory Coast full back this summer.

Two years after the north London club swooped in for the then PSG right back as a replacement for Manchester City bound Kyle Walker, Spurs are willing to sell the 26-year-old for the right price, believed to be around £15m, considerably less than the £23m they initially forked out.

Manchester United and Napoli have both been linked with the right back and he's reportedly chatted with Tottenham teammates about leaving north London.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
