Has Per Mertesacker got the worst Australian accent ever? Arsenal trio star in advert ahead of 2017 tour

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.
