⚽️ 🇬🇧 🫣her questions were off the ,criinge as usual 🫱🏻🫲🏼🇬🇬🇬🇧🫱🏻🫲🏼
Is this Kelly Somers from Watford?
How could you not want everything for this kid? He’s just been a joy to watch grow up! The absolute pride of Arsenal
He speaks so eloquently, he's mature, humble and grounded. The fame and money haven't gone to his head, and him and his parents should be very proud of that.
He will go onto become one of the Arsenal greats/Legends there's no doubt about that, and I hope he's a one club man, he achieves everything playing for our beloved club
Love you Bukayo!!!!❤
Very confident lad! You’re going to achieve even greater things. I love the mindset.
❤❤❤
Star boy, a fighter, a gooner, a winner. Together with his peers they will put Arsenal up there❤❤❤
2026 a double of EPL & UCL for the club and your name is of course up there!
WHY ARE THEY ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT YOU CAN FIND ON PLENTY OTHER INTERVIEWS?
Leadership mentality bukayo 🤍❤️
Die hard fan off arsenal England hate arsenal but we love arsenal
‘Good to see your smiling face???’ Coz all wogs should act like laughing clowns to make whites feel more secure not fearing retribution for the evil, biased and traumatising strategies used to keep you all docile.😊
My goodness, Bukayo Saka is simply an impressive all round human being, isn't he?
Our very own starboy

Beautiful human, I hope he’s enjoying the nature walks with his new dog! Then get going to turn up against the Spuds and slap them in the NLD!
