Ivory Coast right-back Serge Aurier may still be given the chance to fulfil his Premier League dream this summer, despite Arsenal having pulled out of the race to sign him from Toulouse.
Aurier admitted recently that he dreams of playing his football in England, but cautioned dreams do not sometimes come true, before opening the door for Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain to make an approach for his services.
But, having been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur this summer, Aurier may still realise his dream.
Indeed, according to French broadcaster Eurosport, Aurier's agent is heading to England tomorrow for talks with a Premier League club described as "very big".
While Swansea and QPR have also been linked with Aurier, the pair would likely not fit the description, meaning the 21-year-old may be set to join one of the Premier League's elite.
