In addition to assisting with the creation of some New Balance x Bukayo Saka-sponsored football shirts for the upcoming season, a mural of Saka has been painted at the school to serve as a source of inspiration for pupils.

Saka, a player of Nigerian descent, has been an inspiration for the Gunners ever since he made his debut for the north London side. According to artistic boss Mikel Arteta, the player possesses humility and respect, but he also has the character that allows him to dominate the ball when playing. He is capable of making decisions and taking actions that are not typical for someone his age.

Last summer, Peter Mason, the leader of the county, nominated Saka for Freedom of the Borough.

“Just a few short years ago, Bukayo Saka was playing football on the Brentside Playing Fields and the patches at Greenford High,” said County Commissioner Mason, speaking of Saka’s success.

The fact that one of our own represented England at Wembley at Euro 2020 is a source of immense pride for everyone in England. Everyone can draw hope, inspiration, and encouragement from this remarkable tale of talent and achievement.
