It appears that Aurier has posted the message on Instagram to subtly distance himself with a move to Lille, given his Lens track record.
Spurs will no doubtely be working hard behind the scenes to try and offload the 28-year-old before the end of the month and recoup some sort of transfer fee, rather than risk him walking away on a free next summer.
