Saka disclosed this during a recent chat with Grammy-winning Nigerian Tems on the premiere episode of “The Link Up,” a new series by Arsenal Football Club filmed at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London.
The winger had asked Tems about her idols growing up, but when she mentioned Celine Dion, the Arsenal star responded with genuine surprise: “I don’t know who that is,” he said, laughing.
Tems, visibly shocked and amused, replied: “You don’t know who Celine Dion is? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.”

He also admitted to listening to Tems’ music and music playing a role in his life.
Dion, the Canadian superstar behind timeless hits like “My Heart Will Go On” and “Because You Loved Me,” dominated the charts in the 1990s and early 2000s, long before Saka was born.
