Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka stunned fans by saying that he doesn’t know famous Canadian singer Celine Dion and has never heard any of her songs.

The England international revealed this in a recent interview with Grammy-winning Nigerian Tems.

The winger had questioned Tems about her childhood idols, but when she mentioned Celine Dion, the Arsenal player said he was unfamiliar with the legendary singer.

Saka: “You said you were nine when you started singing. Did you have any idols or singers you loved?”

Tems: “I loved Celine Dion.”

Saka: “I don’t know who that is.”

Tems: “You don’t know who Celine Dion is?”

Saka: “No. Is that bad?”

Tems: “Oh, my gosh. Celine Dion!”
