Bukayo Saka is a professional football player who currently plays in the Premier League for the North London-based club Arsenal. He had been a part of the Arsenal youth system for many years before making his senior debut. He has now established himself as one of the key players on the first team.
Is Bukayo Saka Kenyan?
The young Arsenal star is said to have African descent. His parents are originally from the West African country Nigeria and do not have any obvious connection to the East African country Kenya. They are also part of the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria, the language from which the name Bukayo originates.
Saka has always remained adamant that his parent’s Nigerian heritage has kept him humble and grounded as he began making huge strides in his career. He is a British citizen and has represented England at the youth level.
Nigeria did make attempts to sway him to represent their national team, however, Saka chose to play for the Three Lions of England and has since made appearances with the team at various major tournaments.
