He is regarded as one of England’s best football players and has emerged as the country’s golden boy.
In addition, Bukayo Saka celebrated his belated 23rd birthday by hiring out a restaurant in Mayfair, inviting some of the biggest rappers in the world to perform, and telling his Arsenal teammates that they would finally win the Premier League, twenty years after they had last done so.
Saka took over his favorite restaurant, Stork, a pan-African establishment, on Saturday night after he had just left the field after scoring in the 88th minute to help Arsenal defeat Southampton at the Emirates Stadium.
The gifted football player appeared at ease in jeans, a white T-shirt, and a light grey jacket as he was surrounded by big black and gold balloon displays, his Arsenal teammates, and his closest loved ones.
The party of 60 people who came to celebrate his big day were treated to endless cocktails, jerk chicken wings, and jollof rice.
While a saxophonist performed for the group, Saka, who turned 23 on September 5, danced with her girlfriend Tolami Benson, who was dressed in an off-the-shoulder all-white dress.
Saka’s longtime buddy, British rapper Dave, 26, gave an exclusive performance of one of his best-known tracks, Location.
The 34-year-old singer Wizkid was also present to commemorate the special evening with the England and Arsenal winger by performing.
Having been spotted with Saka after games, Wizkid, a devoted Gunners supporter, is rumored to be good friends with the football player.
To honor the birthday boy, a three-tiered birthday cake with black icing and decorations was also shown.
Saka expressed gratitude for the attendance by blowing out the sparklers and giving a statement in which he thanked his teammates, friends, and family.
Saka stated, “I want to thank Santan Dave; he gave us all a great performance.” I’m going to start with my team since I adore you all and I spend too much time with you all every day.
“Thank you for coming, and I love you all.” I firmly think that we will win the league this year.
