‘A miserable childhood’ Arsenal star Bukayo Saka and his parents swaps modest two-bed family home he grew up in for a £2.3m luxury apartment

According to MailOnline, the pinnacle achievement of bukayo Saka, the recently found teenage sensation from England, is moving out of his boyhood home and into a footballer’s mansion. The 19-year-old shared poor living conditions with his mom and siblings in Wembley, five miles away. Bukayo grew up in the family’s modest two-story semi-detached house in Greenford, in the London borough of Ealing, where they would play catch on the neighborhood green after school. However, he quietly upgraded after breaking into Arsenal’s first team by buying a contemporary home with six bedrooms and expansive grounds.  In November 2019, shortly before turning eighteen, he spent £2.3 million bought the enormous house in a posh Hertfordshire area.

Bukayo moved in with his parents and brothers at the age of 17, after signing his first professional contract with Arsenal. The property featured a jacuzzi and walk-in closets, but he wanted to personalize it, so since then, workers have been making changes every month. The patch is thought to have included substantial enhancements, despite the fact that the specifics are still unknown. The property is much larger than its neighbors, and even today a group of laborers was working in the grounds to renovate the property.

The area is more closely linked with Tottenham than Arsenal because current players Dele Alli and Serge Aurier, as well as club veterans Gary Mabbutt and Martin Chivers, reside nearby.

The house came complete with spa and walk-in wardrobes but he wanted to personalise it and workmen have been upgrading it regularly ever since

The exact details of the upgrade have not been revealed but it’s understood the renovations have been extensive. A team of workmen were even working in the grounds today to further modernise the property, which dwarfs its neighbours

It is very different from his small boyhood home. Following yesterday night’s tҺrilling victory, England’s new hero got in touch with neighbors on his former estate. His giving family is well-known for assisting people with house moves and for donating footballs, game consoles, and cash to local impoverished individuals.

Born five miles from Wembley, the 19-year-old Arsenal winger who was christened ‘little chili’ by colleagues for his ability to spice up assaults, had an incredible journey that culminated in his man of the match performance against the Czech Republic last night.

The fully selfless hero and straight-Adeniki, the student’s mother, and Yomi, his father, usually tell him to go to bed early before important games. Last year, they relocated to Hertfordshire in order to be nearer to Arsenal’s training facility.

Meseret Degeti, 34, from Ethiopia and a mother of three boys, told MailOnline when she moved in two years ago, the Saka family introduced themselves by presenting her sons with a sack filled with 20 footballs.

She said: ‘They are so kind, friendly and always helpful. Bukayo and his brother helped me move furniture when I was moving in. Their father is just fantastic and his wife is very kind.

‘Yоmi gаve my bоys аn X-bоx lаst Christmаs аnd £40. He wаs аlwаys encоurаging my sоns tо plаy fооtbаll. He оnly tоld me his children plаyed fооtbаll аnd were gооd, but he did nоt sаy exаctly hоw gооd. He still cоmes аnd visits, especiаlly when I hаve issues with the hоuse. He wаs here in аpril tо sоrt оut а plumbing issue. When they were living here, he wоuld оften drive my children tо schооl.’
