Bukayo Ayoyinka Temidayo Saka is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Arsenal and the England national team.

He was born in Ealing, Greater London, England, to Yoruba Nigerian parents, Adenike and Yomi Saka, and was the younger of two children. He is a devout Christian.

A hugely versatile player, Saka can play at full-back but is usually deployed as a wide forward, using his pace and trickery to devastating effect.

In addition, Saka is a product of Arsenal’s Hale End Academy; he has been with the club from the age of eight and made his first-team debut shortly after his 17th birthday in 2018.
