Tottenham Hotspur new recruit Serge Aurier says he got a rough deal from the media during his often controversial time at Paris Saint-Germain.

The hugely talented Ivorian right-back joined Spurs for £23 million on transfer deadline day last week.

"I wasn't thought highly enough of and I wasn't respected," said the 24-year-old.

The thing with the police was blown out of proportion by the European media," Aurier told African football's ruling body CAF.

"They focussed on everything except my football and if you look at my stats I've been the most decisive defender in Ligue 1 since 2013," said the confident and well built defender.
