Bukayo Saka, England’s rising star, has marked his latest achievement by moving out of his childhood home into a lavish footballer’s mansion, MailOnline reports. The 19-year-old, who grew up just five miles from Wembley in a modest two-storey semi-detached house in Greenford, London, has now settled into a grand six-bedroom contemporary home in Hertfordshire.
Saka purchased the property in November 2019 for £2.3 million, shortly after turning 18. The mansion, featuring sprawling grounds, a spa, and walk-in wardrobes, was chosen to accommodate his growing family and career demands. Since then, extensive renovations have been underway to personalize and modernize the property.
Before Saka’s move, he was known for his generosity and kindness within his former community. Neighbors recall him and his family as exceptionally supportive, often helping with various tasks and providing footballs, games consoles, and monetary aid to those in need. His father, Yomi, was particularly noted for his assistance, including helping with school runs and addressing plumbing issues for neighbors.
Saka’s remarkable journey from a local Greenford park, where he first honed his skills with his father and older brother, to the grand mansion is a testament to his dedication and the support of his close-knit family. Despite his meteoric rise in football, Saka remains grounded, continuing to live with his parents near Arsenal’s training ground while his brother attends university.
His recent performance in England’s match against the Czech Republic further solidified his status as a key player, showcasing his exceptional talent and earning admiration from fans and teammates alike. Known for his humility and focus, Saka’s Instagram reflects his down-to-earth nature, avoiding the typical display of luxury associated with footballers.
