Arsenal are embarking on a tour of Australia for pre-season next year and some of their players need to work on their accents before they do.
Per Mertesacker, Santi Cazorla and Carl Jenkinson got together to film a video message for Arsenal's Australian audience wishing them a Merry Christmas.
Unfortunately, none of them had the accent to boot, with German giant Mertesacker in particular struggling to imitate an Australian.
The trio acted out typical Australian stereotypes. Cazorla can be seen barbecuing some sausages, before Mertesacker encourages him to 'chuck us a sanger'.
Moments later Jenkinson appears on camera, carrying a cricket bat and wishing both 'fellas' a merry Christmas.
The right-back follows up that comment by asking: 'How are yous going?'
Both Cazorla and Mertesacker, in incredibly questionable Australian accents, reply: 'Sweet!'.
The tall defender then demonstrates possibly the worst impression of all time as he comments: 'Gotta love an Ozzie Christmas'.
The entire affair is revealed to be a ruse as the background disappears and the video is shown to be filmed at Arsenal's training ground.
