Former Tottenham defender Serge Aurier has signed with Villarreal.

Aurier joins Villarreal as a free agent after terminating his contract by mutual consent last month.

Villarreal announced: "Villarreal CF have reached an agreement with Serge Aurier, who joins the Yellows as a free agent and will represent the Yellows this season, with the option of extending the link between both parties for two further campaigns.

"After completing his medical and signing his Villarreal contract, Aurier will head off to represent his country, Côte d'Ivoire, who have called him up for two World Cup qualifiers against Malawi (Friday 8th and Monday 11th October).

"The defender will join up with the Yellows after the international break and will be presented officially as a new Yellows player when he returns to Spain."
