Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has taunted Georges-Kevin Nkoudou in the wake of the 21-year-old's move to Tottenham on transfer deadline day.

Nkoudou has been training at Spurs for the past week but had to wait for his protracted move to be confirmed due to an impending takeover at Marseille.

And it was at the Stade Velodrome that Mauricio Pochettino's third signing of the summer played alongside Batshuayi, who completed a £33m move to Stamford Bridge earlier in the summer.

Both players thrived in Ligue 1 and Batshuayi aimed a light-hearted at his former colleague on Twitter, claiming that he is now an "enemy" of Nkoudou, given that the Frenchman represents rivals Spurs.

Batshuayi has made a promising start to his career in English football, scoring three goals in four appearances for Antonio Conte's side.

And Nkoudou is hoping to make a similar impact at White Hart Lane and has already backed himself to be a hit at Spurs due to an "explosive" style of play, with pace his primary asset.

The pair are likely to face each other when Pochettino's side travel to west London for a Premier League fixture on November 26.

Meanwhile, Batshuayi has enjoyed a lively night on social media and also posted a message to David Luiz ahead of the Brazilian's imminent return to Chelsea.
