Arsenal's Bukayo Saka surprised young fan who gave him his pocket money

Last season, Bukayo Saka was comfortably one of the best players in the Premier League.

The young winger became Arsenal‘s go-to man throughout 2021/22, scoring 11 goals and assisting seven more in 38 league appearances.

Saka rippled the back of the net in matches against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea, proving to the world that he’s already a big-game player at the age of just 20.

What makes Saka’s heroic efforts in an Arsenal shirt last season even more special is the fact they came after he endured the worst possible experience a professional footballer can go through.

The London-born forward’s penalty miss in the Euro 2020 final shootout against Italy condemned England to a heartbreaking defeat at Wembley Stadium.

In the aftermath of the game, Saka was tragically subjected to racial abuse on social media.

But Arsenal and the rest of the footballing world rallied around him, which was just great to see.

And one young fan named Teddy went above and beyond to help Saka in his darkest hour.

He sent a letter to Saka after the Euro 2020 final to cheer the player up and even included his pocket money in the package.

Heartwarming, right?

In the Arsenal’s ‘All or Nothing’ documentary on Amazon Prime, we got to see Saka’s response to Teddy and the snippet of footage from the series is just brilliant.
