Bukayo Saka visited Kwara state, Southwest Nigeria, home of his grandparents as he continues to tour his native land after the Premier League season ended.
Bukayo Saka’s visit to his homeland Nigeria has taken another twist as the Arsenal striker visited his grandparents in Oro, Kwara state, Southwest Nigeria.
The Gunners most valuable player for the 2022-23 season has been in Nigeria since the past week paying several visits to important places.
From visiting an orphanage in Egbeda area of Lagos state, to meeting with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, it is now the turn of grandpa and grandma to see their priceless jewel.
Saka was spotted taking a photograph with his grandparents alongside his brother on @Abiodun_A_Bello’s Twitter handle.
