Tottenham’s LGBT+ community have urged new signing Serge Aurier to embrace diversity after joining the club from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ivory Coast international had a turbulent past in Paris that included a homophobic rant at France legend Laurent Blanc and a conviction for assaulting a police officer.
The Proud Lilywhites, the official LGBT+ Supporters’ Association for Spurs, want Aurier to learn from his past mistakes.
“We were initially unhappy with the signing, but given our positive dialogue with the club we would like to use this as an opportunity to build bridges and make lasting change,” the group said.
