Tottenham defender Kyle Walker labelled 'Mr. Zero-Banter' for stealing Georges-Kevin Nkoudou's Catinho tweet
Tottenham defender Kyle Walker has been branded "Mr 0-Banter" for appearing to steal one of Georges-Kevin Nkoudou's tweets.
Walker was photographed taking a free kick in Spurs training and uploaded a message asking his followers to decide whether his technique was better than the 'Catinho' meme.
But eagle-eyed social media users - and Nkoudou himself - spotted that a similar joke had already been used by the French midfielder back in December.
The similarity to Nkoudou's original post was unlikely to go unnoticed, having gained over 3,500 Retweets, and the 21-year-old was quick to accuse Walker of 'nabbing' his content.
ouhhh my bro @kylewalker2 trying to steal my tweets 👀👀👀👀 ... ahaha 😂😂

Dele Alli also spotted Walker's questionable social media strategy. The snake emoji can speak a thousand words.

Jan Vertonghen was next to lay into Walker, suggesting the England international is not known for his banter at Spurs.
@gknkoudou @kylewalker2 @Dele_Alli Exactly the reason why we call him Mr. 0-Banter 💩
