On 23 July 2014, he joined Paris Saint-Germain on a season-long loan with an option for the Parisian club to purchase outright. On 31 August 2017, Aurier signed for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur for a fee in the region of £23 million.[59] Aurier made his debut on 13 September in a 3–1 win over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League.
In his international football profile, Serge despite having lived in France for over 14 years, he does not hold a French passport, and had originally turned down the chance to play for the Ivory Coast. However, he was called up by manager Sabri Lamouchi in April 2013 and eventually played his first match for his homeland against the Gambia on 8 June that year.
