Bukayo Saka, an international football player for England of Nigerian heritage continues his tour of Lagos, the capital of West Africa.

The 21-year-old forward landed at Lagos' Murtala Muhammed International Airport on May 31, 2023,

After a grueling 2022–2023 Premier League season, Saka is set to spend part of his holiday in Lagos.

Saka, a Nigerian immigrant who had been raised in the UK, was always expected to play for the Super Eagles, but he choose to represent England instead. 

A day after his arrival, Saka, who is recognized for having a significant impact on Arsenal's Premier League finish as runner-up to eventual champion Manchester City, paraded around Lagos. 

Saka visited Bariga, Lagos, but followers on social media mistook him for someone in Egbeda, causing them to spread the rumor that the young man was in the Egbeda region of the state.

Following the arrival of Saka, there were reports that the Arsenal man is set to meet with top government officials.

On Saturday, June 3, Saka met with the two-term governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Photos of Saka meeting with Governor have gone viral on social media.

Saka during the meeting presented Governor Sanwo-Olu with his 2022/23 season jersey.

Saka, who modeled the new Arsenal and Adidas home jerseys for the 2023/24 season, is a fan favorite and is also expected to have a meet and greet with fans before leaving.  

Pulse Sports will continue to provide more information about Saka's stay in Lagos before his return to Europe.
