Bukayo Saka’s grandmother traveled from Oro in Kwara State to witness Arsenal’s final home game of the season, sharing an emotional reunion with the star player. Family and fans celebrated as the Gunners secured a crucial win over Burnley.
Kai Havertz’s first-half strike set the stage for a memorable encounter, with Saka’s grandmother watching proudly from the stands. Their special moment captivated supporters, highlighting the young forward’s deep connection to his Nigerian roots.
While the occasion was joyous, a lighthearted misunderstanding arose when some mistook Saka’s grandmother for a relative of William Saliba—before quickly realizing their error.
With 17 goals and 15 assists this season, Saka continues to thrive as Arsenal chase their first Premier League title in over two decades. His bond with family and culture remains central to his inspiring journey.
