Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier has rubbed shoulders with some pretty big names in the world of football.

The Ivory Coast right-back is team-mates with Harry Kane and Dele Alli at the moment.

But before joining Tottenham, he shared a dressing room with the likes of Neymar and Edinson Cavani at Paris Saint-Germain.

And it seems like the 26-year-old is also friendly with another world-class player: Paul Pogba.

The World Cup-winning France and Manchester United star met with his Spurs rival in a social setting on Tuesday, and posted evidence of the interaction on social media platforms.

The two are close friends and Goal.com even reported that Pogba asked the Red Devils’ hierarchy to sign the Spurs star, when he was still in Paris.

Aurier, a £23 million signing for the Lilywhites in 2017 [Sky Sports], is having an okay second season in North London, with Mauricio Pochettino alternating between him and Kieran Trippier at right-back at times.

Trippier is Pochettino’s first-choice option, though the African star did play – and played well – in the 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund last week.
