Both players spent a single season at the club playing together as teammates.

Before Toni Kroos returned to Bayern Munich, which was his parent club at the time, the two players only played together for a single season.
4. Jesse Lingard and Harry Kane (Leicester City).

5. Samuel Eto’o And Kevin De Bruyne (Chelsea).
Year: 2013 – 2014
