Iamdikeh: Nigerian comedian mimics Premier League players' accents in viral video

• Oftentimes, the pronunciation of the names of players plying their trade in the Premier League has proven difficult for fans
• The English Football League governing body sometimes engages these players in lively interviews, where they are asked to pronounce their names correctly
• A Nigerian comedian has subtly found humour in this, recreating the pronunciation of players' names in a viral video

Pronouncing the names of footballers is often a challenge for fans, especially given the diverse backgrounds and cultures represented in the sport.

As football brings together players from around the world, many of whom have become some of the finest talents, their names can sometimes be difficult for fans to pronounce correctly.

While this is by no means an issue for the sport itself, it has led to fans sometimes resorting to nicknames to refer to their favourite players.
