Ex-Spurs fullback Aurier: Emery called me before Villarreal signing

Former Tottenham defender Serge Aurier is delighted with his move to Villarreal.

Aurier has signed a deal to June, with the option for another two years.

He said, "It's a new experience for me. I'm excited, because I've watched a lot of Villarreal matches. I think it's a good opportunity, it's a new challenge.

"I can't wait to participate in my first training session with my new team. I am impatient. I'm ready."

On coach Unai Emery, Aurier added, “It's a good opportunity because I already know the coach. We had a great time together at PSG. Before I signed here, he called me and he explained everything to me. I am happy to work with him again. We have a good relationship."
