‘The pain has brought us together’ - Bukayo Saka opens up on how losing title last season has helped
Arsenal will not be "frustrated," according to Bukayo Saka, in their pursuit of Manchester City, a team that consistently wins.
“The design of Arsenal's away kit draws inspiration from Kenya national flag,” said an Arsenal fan on X, with the post generating varied comments.
“Arsenal has a lot of loyal fans from there [Kenya],” another user replied.
“It's the African colours. Green, Black, White, Red. The only colour missing is the gold/yellow. That will be added when we lift the Premier League title and have the gold Prem winner added to the jersey,” another one commented.
“Kenyans love Arsenal. We welcome the team to play a friendly against our very own Harambee Stars,” was the response of another excited Kenyan.
“He's not wrong though. I mean look at the colours. Kenya is massive. Arsenal recognises.”
