Throwback footage has emerged of a forgotten Premier League striker rapping while Virgil van Dijk beatboxed.

The pair were team-mates at the time and combined for the unusual musical melody.

The striker, who is still playing professionally, was seen cringing as he watched the footage back.

Van Dijk, meanwhile, has established himself as one of the best centre-backs in the world with his performances for Liverpool and the Netherlands.

On Tuesday van Dijk was in action as the Netherlands beat Romania 3-0 to progress to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.

As reported by The Sun, former Manchester City striker John Guidetti is part of SVT Sport’s broadcast team for the Euros, which included him covering the Netherlands’ game against Romania.

Guidetti certainly didn’t enjoy being shown the footage of him and van Dijk, which was filmed when they were team-mates at Celtic.

Van Dijk played for Celtic between 2013 an 2015 before moving on to Southampton and subsequently Liverpool.

Guidetti, meanwhile, was on loan at Celtic from Manchester City during the 2014-15 campaign.

Earmarked as a very exciting young talent when at City, he made just one competitive appearance for the club, which came in the League Cup during the 2010-11 season. Guidetti played six times in the Premier League while on loan at Stoke in 2013-14.

He later had spells at Celta Vigo and Alaves before a loan move to Hannover. 

Guidetti, who scored three goals in 28 games for Sweden, has been at AIK since 2022.
