<\/p>\nWilliam Saliba hilariously mistook a forgotten Arsenal player for Everton manager Sean Dyche.<\/p>\n
The Arsenal centre-back has become one of the outstanding defenders in world football with his performances over the last two seasons under Mikel Arteta. But despite already being a fan favourite in north London, the 22-year-old\u2019s knowledge of former Gunners players could do with some work.<\/p>\n
That was evident as the Frenchman was tested by NBC Sports in a game where he had to name ex-Gunners stars. Saliba failed to name each of Denilson, Manuel Almunia and Eduardo before sending social media into a meltdown.<\/p>\n

Having been shown a picture of former Switzerland central defender Philippe Senderos, the youngster sheepishly asked: \u201cIt\u2019s the coach of Everton?\u201d He was told the correct answer and gave a chuckle as fans online were left in tears of laughter. <\/p>\n
Aside from their bald heads, very few people would ever have compared the stoic, ginger-bearded former Burnley boss to Senderos previously. But Saliba can be forgiven for not being familiar with the defender, who played for the Gunners between 2003 and 2010.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mainly a squad player, Senderos lifted the FA Cup and Community Shield with Arsenal before going on to play for a whole host of teams. He featured for AC Milan, Everton (ironically), Fulham, Valencia, Aston Villa, Swiss side Grasshoppers, Rangers, Houston Dynamo and Chiasso.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Dyche also played as a centre-back for Nottingham Forest, Chesterfield, Bristol City, Luton Town, Milwall, Watford and Northampton Town. Very different careers indeed.<\/p>\n
Still, at least Saliba was able to successfully name the magisterial Yaya Sanogo.<\/p>\n
