Bolasie is a DR Copngo International, while Lukaku is from Congolese descent. And so speaking the special language means opponents have no clue as to their next move.

Speaking to the , Bolasie said: "We are both very proud of our heritage.

"It really helps when we talk in our language, Lingala, and I know his cousin, who plays with me for DR Congo.

"We speak Lingala on the pitch.

"There aren’t too many defenders in the league who speak it, so that gives us a little bit of an advantage.

"It’s particularly useful because it’s quick."

And Lukaka will be hoping his secret language with Bolasie can pay dividends against his old club.
