Arsenal defender William Saliba awkwardly confuses Gunners cult hero with Everton boss Sean Dyche | The Sun

ARSENAL star William Saliba confused a former Gunner with Everton boss Sean Dyche.

The Frenchman was asked to identify stars of yesteryear from old snaps of them playing for the North Londoners.


Saliba, 22, was successfully able to pick out Yaya Sanogo, Andrey Arshavin, Alex Song and Gervinho.

But he struggled more with some of the others.

The centre-back couldn't pick out Denilson, Manuel Almunia or Eduardo.

But it was his reaction to a snap of Philippe Senderos that had fans in stitches.

Saliba was shown an image of Senderos wearing Arsenal's distinctive burgundy 2005-06 home shirt.

Looking curious, the France international guessed: "The coach of Everton?"

When it was pointed out that it was not Dyche, Saliba burst out laughing.

Fans on social media couldn't get enough of the comparison.

One joked: "This is why Dyche grew the beard."

While a second quipped: "Can’t lie, could have done with Dyche when facing Drogba."

Another added: "That's incredible."

Senderos played 117 times for Arsenal between 2003 and 2010.

He did in fact have a loan spell at Goodison Park, playing three times for Everton during his final season as a Gunner.

The defender earned 57 caps for Switzerland and also played for AC Milan, Fulham, Valencia, Aston Villa and Rangers during his club career.

Now 38, Senderos announced his retirement from football in December 2019.
