English football player Bukayo Saka, who plays for Arsenal, has contributed to 120 surgeries that have improved the lives of young people in Nigeria.

Saka, 23, has been called up to Gareth Southgate’s England team and is getting ready for his first World Cup, but that hasn’t prevented him from thinking about other things.

In October, Arsenal and England’s Bukayo Saka contributed to the funding of 120 surgeries in Nigeria.

Children of Kano can be seen donning Arsenal’s matchday uniforms in a video on BigShoe’s website.
The winger played a significant part in the medical operations that BigShoe, a youth organisation, performed on the Kano children last month.

The 23-year-old stated, “I feel privileged to be in a position where I can help to make the children’s life easier and better through these surgeries,” in answer to questions regarding the situation.

I remain deeply connected to Nigeria. I would want to express my gratitude to the entire BigShoe team for allowing me to use my skills to make a contribution wherever I can.

Every youngster should, in my opinion, have an equal chance to realise their aspirations.

Children in Nigeria with conditions such as brain tumours or inguinal hernias were addressed during the surgeries.

It was really important to me, so I sincerely want to help if in any way I can. It makes me pleased to see the kids and their parents content.

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

The Arsenal wide player says he chose to assist because he “still feels very connected to Nigeria.”

Numerous kids in Kano, Nigeria’s second-biggest city, are impacted by the issue.

In recent months, Real Madrid player Antonio Rudiger teamed with BigShoe, promising to donate all of his World Cup earnings to underprivileged youngsters in Sierra Leone. The outstanding player for Arsenal is not the first to do this.

Bukayo Saka has covered the cost of life-altering surgery for 120 Nigerian youngsters.
