Serge Aurier could join Montigny-en-Gohelle in Régional 2; the former Ivory Coast international is in advanced talks with the club.
According to La Voix du Nord, talks between the Ivorian defender and the northern French club are reportedly at an advanced stage.
His arrival would be a particularly high-profile signing for a team competing at this level.
After a career marked by several stints at the highest level notably in Ligue 1 and the Premier League Serge Aurier could therefore take on a challenge that is, to say the least, unexpected in the coming weeks.
