Khalifa, 25, was being interviewed by Arsenal Fan TV's Robbie Lyle when she was asked who her favourite players of all-time were. 

"You gotta say Becks (David Beckham) because I'm a girl," Khalifa said. 

"Zinedine Zidane, because that (his red card in the 2006 World Cup final) was the most exciting thing I've seen happen in a football match.

"And...Aaron Mooy. He's like the Kawhi Leonard (star basketballer of the Toronto Raptors) of football.

When Robbie seemed confused at this comparison not knowing who Leonard was Khalifa went into more detail. 

"He acts like him, he's kind of camera shy, he's a little goofy but you never see it."

Khalifa, who retired from porn after one year in 2015, is in London promoting a betting website and claims to be a big West Ham fan due to the movie Green Street Hooligans.
