He will be looking to replace his teammate, Trippier who had 21 premier league starts compared to his own 16.
Trippier also went on to play very impressive football for the three lions in the world cup and appears to be in top form for the coming season.
Aurier, however, still believes that he has a fighting chance.
‘Now is my time,’ the 25-year-old said. ‘I have to take my chance. If I play good, the gaffer has a choice. That is football. You push. You don’t stop…for now Trippier is on holiday and this is my moment to take my chance.’
Spurs coach Pochettino blamed Aurier’s underwhelming performance last season on the player’s newness to the league, insisting that the player just needed time to adjust.
Aurier now believes he is more at home in England and loves how seriously the fans take football.
‘I like the intensity,’ he said. ‘I like the fans. The English people like football. For me that’s very important. It’s not the same in France. Here you play, I don’t know, against Leicester or Burnley and the stadium is full. For me that’s very important. I like that.
‘For me the difference is very, very big. The French people like football but they don’t have the time to go to the stadium. English people are not the same. I know the Premier League, I know the players, all the people who work in the team. Now I am ready.’
