Arsenal fans fall in love with Bukayo Saka after response to young kid asking him to join struggling League One club
BUKAYO SAKA made Arsenal fans love him even more after his heartwarming reply to a young supporter’s cheeky transfer request.
The 22-year-old winger is a product of the Gunners’ Hale End academy.
And Saka returned to where his road to stardom began, meeting the next crop of youngsters hoping to follow in his footsteps.
His emotional return saw him watch a match between Arsenal and Charlton’s kids.
After the game, a youngster at the League One club approached the England star and begged: “Can you join Charlton?”
Saka responded: “Nah, nah Arsenal’s in my heart too much. Sorry guys, sorry.”
His polite rejection made Gunners fans reaffirm their love for him.
One said: “Nice answer from Saka.”
Another added: “That’s why I wouldn’t swap Starboy for anyone else. Arsenal is in his heart, he’s in ours. Top, top man.”
A third commented: “He’s still respectful that’s my GOAT.”
More joked: “Get this kid a medal for trying.”
Charlton could certainly do with someone of Saka’s quality as they are in a battle to avoid relegation to League Two after a horror run of results.
Their last league win came against Cheltenham on November 28.
Ex-Premier League boss Nathan Jones is now in charge at The Valley.
