Saka’s self-description at a speed dating session

“My age is twenty-one.” I’m an Arsenal player. It’s been my club for a very long time. I’m a person who enjoys happiness and love, and I love football. I make an effort to be intelligent and to have fun.

“Soccer?” I’ve known that since I was a young child. I fell in love with this game as soon as I found out it existed. I still adore it, too. There was a gated community in front of my house; it was shaped like a circle with the other houses. There was merely a green field in the center. We turned it into a football field, albeit it wasn’t exactly that. Everyone went there to have fun. The neighborhood kids and I got together there after school to play until our parents summoned us to supper and the bathroom. After that, bed. Next day, school started. And we repeated it!
