Villarreal signing Serge Aurier has posted a farewell to Tottenham and their fans on social media.

Aurier signed for Villarreal this week as a free agent after terminating his contract by mutual consent at Spurs last month.

Taking to social media, Aurier declared: "To my big family, my supporters! First of all, I want to thank all the Spurs fans for these four wonderful seasons by your side. They were all different but I leave with some great memories. I had a lot of fun playing wearing your colors proudly. It is true that everything was not perfect, there were moments of joy and sadness but know one thing, I have always played by investing 100%, without cheating!

"I have never seen myself in another club in England if not at your place! And I did not see myself joining the enemy even less because I have too much respect for our club, for our history and for all our moments shared together. You have shown unfailing support during these four seasons and I really want to thank you because you have given me a lot! The last few months have not been easy and I would have liked to say goodbye to you in better conditions, but each story comes to an end, you have to know how to accept it and move forward.

"I am now addressing you, my former teammates, my brothers with whom I have lived a lot. I really enjoyed playing alongside you, I know you will miss me especially in our locker room where I liked to set the mood. I wish you the best for this season and I promise I will come back to see you, you will not be forgetting me anytime soon!"
