The two former Marseille stars have been taking part in plenty of social media banter since moving to Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

New Tottenham Hotspur signing Georges-Kevin Nkoudou has already shown that he is a player happy to indulge in a bit of banter, and his latest Twitter comments continue a friendly rivalry that is developing with his former teammate, Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.
The 21-year-old completed what was a hugely long-winded transfer to North London on deadline day, joining his ex-Marseille teammate Batshuayi in making the switch from the south of France to the English capital.

The pair were two bright spots in what was a disappointing campaign for l’OM, with the Belgian scoring an impressive 23 goals last season, and Nkoudou scoring ten times and assisting five.
On Twitter on Tuesday Batshuayi joked that the new Fifa 17 demo may have been delayed because they would be upgrading his passing stats, causing Nkoudou to respond.
Batshuayi himself replied to Nkoudou’s bragging, which roughly translated says: “LOL, we’ll see soon.”
Batshuayi actually managed to register ten assists last year, double that which Nkoudou produced from the wing, tough he did play over 1000 minutes more football than the French youngster. What is clear is that the duo are continuing their friendship at their new clubs, despite a willingness to try and trump the other on social media.
And both will certainly be hoping to make an impact for their respective sides when Spurs visit Stamford Bridge in November.
