Who Is Bukayo Saka?

Saka was born in 2001 in London to a Nigerian father and a Ghanaian mother. He joined Arsenal’s academy at seven and rose through every youth level. By the 2019‑20 season he made his first‑team debut, and ever since he’s become a regular starter.

Playing primarily on the left wing, Saka is known for cutting inside, delivering sharp crosses and scoring crucial goals. He also fills in at left‑back when needed – a versatility that makes him valuable to manager Mikel Arteta.

Recent Highlights and Stats

Last month Saka helped Arsenal clinch a 3‑1 win over Liverpool, scoring two goals and assisting another. In the Premier League he’s averaging 0.35 goals per game and 0.28 assists per match – numbers that put him among the top English wingers.

On the international stage Saka was a key figure for England at Euro 2024, delivering a decisive assist in the quarter‑finals and earning a spot in the tournament’s Team of the Tournament. His performances have sparked transfer rumors, but Arsenal insists he’s committed to the club.
