Newcastle star thinks James Tarkowski is from Kazakhstan and Everton’s Danish midfielder admits he ‘doesn’t know where Europe is’ in hilarious geography challenge

A handful of Premier League stars showed off their pitiful geography skills in a challenge to locate the nation of various players on a world map. 

While the pressure of playing in front of thousands of fans every week would make most crumble, the likes of Carlos Soler, Jesper Lindstrom and Jacob Murphy looked far more uncomfortable at their global locations knowledge being put to the test. 

In a video shared on the Premier League’s YouTube channel, 10 players competed to see who could accurately pin the most players to their country of origin. 

Incredibly, Murphy, did not realise that Everton defender James Tarkowski was English and put him over in Kazakhstan. 

And Everton’s Danish international Lindstrom admitted: ‘Before the session, I didn’t even know where Europe was!’

Plenty of the participants struggled to locate Japan to put Kaoru Mitoma on the map. 

Carlos Soler placed Australian Massimo Luongo in Thailand in one of the more rogue answers

And a number of the players also struggled to position Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana in Cameroon. 

Chris Richards had the advantage of putting himself on the board, helping himself move to joint-second in the overall standings. 

Raul Jimenez was one star who most were able to correctly pin on Mexico, although there were also a few rogue South American countries in the mix. 

Putting Arsenal centre-back William Saliba in France was also another easy one for the 10 players. 

Ipswich’s Massimo Luongo of Australia produced some wild answers. Soler placed him in Thailand and Bernd Leno put him in Peru. 

In the end, it was Liverpool’s Kostas Tsimikas who finished bottom of the pile alongside David Raya, while Leicester’s Wilfried Ndidi came out on top with nine correct answers.
