Ever wondered which foreign footballers sound like they’ve lived in the UK all their lives? In this video, we reveal 5 players who have perfected the English accent, despite not being from anywhere in the UK!
0:10 Neil Maupay
Born and raised in France, speaks English with such a flawless accent that you’d swear he was from London. His ability to blend into British culture with his speech is truly remarkable.
0:59 Amadou Onana
He made headlines when a clip of him correcting a journalist who called him “Andre” went viral. This Belgian player’s polished English accent is as impressive as his on-field skills, showcasing his eloquence and command over the language.
1:15 Alexander Isak
He’s of Eritrean descent but from Sweden, speaks English so well that you might assume he’s lived in London all his life. His fluency and accent reflect his deep immersion in English language and culture.
1:40 Emi Martínez
The World Cup-winning Argentinian goalkeeper, has impressed many with his excellent English accent. His clear and articulate speech adds to his charisma, making him a standout both on and off the pitch.
2:15 Héctor Bellerín
The former Arsenal captain, shocked many with his impeccable English accent. Despite being Spanish, his time in London has clearly influenced his speech, making him sound almost indistinguishable from a native Brit.

There is an even crazier one – Takefusa Kubo’s perfect Spanish
Andre Onana 😂
why does haaland kind of have an aussie accent in that first one
All of them have adopted an english accent but still have a trace of their mother tongue. Bellerin sounds like he was born in North London.
Do people in the comments expect Haaland to have an English accent because he spent the first three years of his life in England?
Would have stood out more as not being the case 20 to 25 years ago, with accents. Dialects change!
Fake
Maupay accent is wild 😂
Alexander Isak speaks Swedish with an accent, that accent comes through here as well.
Isak sounds like one of them that does the stabbings in London
3:11 What's that "Hippy-Hitler" look, bruh?😁
No English person would say "the ref was giving everything for them"
Héctor’s accent is flawless!)
I love the clip of Amadou Onana. And, as a neutral, I always appreciate Neal Maupay on the pitch for his excellent sh*thousery.
Haaland was born in England and did a few years of school here before he moved back to Norway so that doesn't count.
can a native english speaker from england tell me if the sound 100% native?
Man dem is broken Foreign English
I cannot take Isak seriously after this interview.
Sport requires a high level of coordination, so this ability to control your body extends to the auditory muscles.
Martinez sounded like Harry Kane in that interview 😂😂😂
haaland is born in the uk but plays for norway
Has nobody heard courtois english ???
You forgot Thiago Alcantara
“Former Arsenal captain….”
And all of them speaks better than Harry Kane
I enjoed this ILETs exam preparation video.
Haaland is from leeds
These lads got English accents better than that of Harry Kane 😂
"My names not Andre mate"
You should hear Jorginho in that video bald or mullet
2:41 I’m sorry but if I did not know who Hector Bellerin is I would think he is Australian
André Onana is a Mandela Effect, I also thought his name was Andre Idk why
Haaland is from leeds
Ole’s Mancunian accent deserves a shout even though he’s a manager now
Until he says “we was..” it’s not true London accent
Broja??
Surely some of these are AI
I swear, they are all speaking English far better than Jamie Carrager.
I remember Bellerin smashed English

Liverpool’s new signing Frimpong is also a baffling one. Born in Amsterdam, plays for Netherlands, but speaks better German & English than he does Dutch. In fact he apparently barely speaks a word of Dutch. He’s just never really needed to learn it for any practical reason in his life apparently
