The 21-year-old has been called up to Gareth Southgate’s England side.

However, joining the squad to make an impact for the Three Lions in Qatar has not stopped him from other tasks that link him to helping others.

This online media platform gathered that Arsenal’s number seven played a key role in last month’s medical operations for Kano youngsters in collaboration with the youth organization BigShoe.

In response to challenges with ailments like inguinal hernias or brain tumours in Nigeria, Saka took these initiatives.

The 21-year-old responded to the matter by saying: “I feel blessed to be in a position where I can contribute to making the children’s lives easier and better through these surgeries.

“I still feel very connected to Nigeria. For me, it is very important to use my abilities to have a positive impact where I can and I have to say a big thank you to the whole BigShoe team for making this possible.

“For me it is important that every child has the same opportunity to achieve their dreams.

“If I can do anything to help then I really want to do this, it was very important to me. It makes me happy when I can see the kids happy and their parents happy.

“I want to do more and more and help as many children as I can.” says Saka.
