Hard ones today. No, I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5079921.jpg?r=1700674557133\"><\/p>\n<p>Yaya Snago was next up and was successfully named by the current Arsenal man, who played against him during his time in France. But when goalkeeper Manuel Almunia appeared on screen, the perplexed star said: &#8220;I know his face but I forgot the name.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Russian forward Andrey Arshavin was the next subject, whom Saliba identified, but had to correct himself after initially calling him [Tomas] Rosicky.<\/p>\n<p>The defender had no idea when it came to trying to name Brazilian forward Eduardo, but Alex Song and Gervinho were easy pickings, allowing the rattled Gunner to regain some composure.<\/p>\n<p>However, when Saliba was shown a photograph of retired centre-back Philippe Senderos, he said: &#8220;It is the coach of Everton?&#8221; referring to current Toffees boss Sean Dyche. The interviewer replied: &#8220;No, no, it looks like him! This one is a Swiss defender.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Mauricio Pochettino pressure ramped up as Chelsea hero suggests brutal sackings[SACK RACE] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Alexander Zverev to travel with Bayern Munich to face Man Utd at Old Trafford[AWAY DAY] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Disturbing footage shows bloody Argentina fans beaten by police as Messi fumes[UGLY SCENE] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5079924.jpg?r=1700674557271\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5079998.jpg?r=1700674557313\"><\/p>\n<p>A laughing Saliba took in the information but still had no idea who he was.
