The Ivory Coast right-back was linked with moves to Manchester United and Drogba’s beloved Chelsea.

And Drogba, who spent nine years at Stamford Bridge is close to the 24-year-old after two year playing together at international level.

He revealed he spoke with Aurier this week about his arrival in the Premier League.

The Blues icon said he will offer him advice but jokingly claimed he should have joined Chelsea instead of London rivals Spurs.

Drogba said to Sky Sports: “I just spoke to him a few hours ago, he’s so happy to be in England and of course we’re going to help him.

“He’s my younger brother so I’m going to give him some tips.

“He plays for the wrong team, but I’m happy for him, very happy for his move.”

Aurier could make his debut debut against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The defender needed clearance to enter the UK and complete his Spurs switch following his convicton for assault last year.

It led to him being refused entry to the UK when PSG came to play Arsenal in last season’s Champions League.
