Drogba: Arsenal target Aurier ready for the Premier League

The Toulouse full-back set up goals for Wilfried Bony
and Gervinho as the Ivory Coast beat Japan 2-1 in
Group C, earning plenty of praise from the former
Chelsea man
Didier Drogba believes that Ivory Coast team-mate Serge
Aurier, who is on the brink of a move to Arsenal, is ready for
the Premier League.
Goal understands that the Gunners have held a series of
talks with Toulouse and are on the verge of completing the
signing of the right-back , as Arsene Wenger targets a
replacement for Manchester City-bound Bacary Sagna.
And Drogba was suitably impressed with Aurier after the
full-back provided two assists as the Ivory Coast came
from behind to beat Japan 2-1 on Saturday night.
"He's the best right-back in all of France," Drogba told Fifa's
official website. "I think he'll do well at the next level too, in
the Premier League."
Aurier himself was full of pride after seeing crosses
converted by Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony and former
Arsenal man Gervinho, respectively, as Sabri Lamouchi's side
cancelled out Keisuke Honda's opener in a Group C clash.
"I can't believe it," he said. "It's my first World Cup, we're
here in Brazil and I helped the team to win. It's like a dream."
