Watch: Merson chews up pronunciation of Leicester striker 'Salami'

Sometimes you wonder whether Paul Merson is just on the television for gaffes rather than punditry.
The former Arsenal favourite has lost his teeth and voiced many peculiar descriptions of the Premier League's events, and he couldn't help choking on the pronunciation of Leicester City's Islam Slimani - or "Salami" - on Saturday.
Although the Algerian didn't put a banger on net in the 3-1 defeat of Crystal Palace, he did link with Ahmed Musa for his attacking partner's 42nd-minute opener.
The result ensured Leeds United still has the wurst start to a Premier League season by a defending champion.
