Arsenal footballer Bukayo Saka and Nigerian Grammy winner Tems have captured online attention with a charming studio encounter at London’s Abbey Road Studios. The clip, showing Tems sharing her childhood inspiration from Celine Dion only for Saka to admit he does not recognize the name, has sparked discussions on divides across generations and interests.
This interaction forms part of episode one in The Link Up, a fresh series on Arsenal’s newly launched streaming platform called The Arsenal. Announced on March 5, 2026, the app offers exclusive content to connect fans deeper with the club, including programs like The Big Match and Modern Leader. In The Link Up, players will engage with figures from music, sports, and culture to discuss creativity and life outside football.
Social media users praised the wholesome atmosphere of the interaction, with many noting how young sports stars like Saka might overlook music legends from earlier eras, though icons like Michael Jackson often bridge the gaps.
Available now on app stores, The Arsenal promises more episodes weekly, blending entertainment with club insights. Fans eager for such collaborations can stream the full episode to catch the full exchange.
