The reason given by the home office for refusing Aurier’s entry into the UK is based on the 23-year-old’s conviction for an assault of a police officer for which he was given a two month suspended prison sentence in September.

He was found guilty of assaulting the officer outside a Paris nightclub after being stopped for a breath test.

The player strongly denies the charges and is appealing the ruling although under UK law there is no right to appeal against a visa refusal.
