Arsenal: Nigerian descent signs new Gunners deal — fiancée and dogs steal the spotlight

Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka, of Nigerian descent, has committed his future to Arsenal, Afrik Foot reports.

The England forward signed a new long-term contract that keeps him at the Emirates Stadium until at least 2030.

The 24-year-old winger, born to Nigerian parents, is now reportedly one of the club’s highest earners, with weekly wages estimated at around £300,000.

The signing wasn’t just a football story. Saka’s fiancée, Tolami Benson, was there to celebrate the moment, and the couple’s two dogs even joined in, which gave the occasion a wholesome, family vibe that fans couldn’t stop talking about on social media.

Saka has been central to Arsenal’s recent successes, dazzling fans with his pace, skill, and consistency.

Off the pitch, Benson, a model and social media influencer, also of Nigerian heritage, has been a constant support, often seen cheering Saka from the stands.

The inclusion of their dogs at the signing added a fun, human touch. The moment captured the renewal of a contract and also the personal side of a star whose career continues to inspire both on and off the pitch.

With this deal, Saka is set to remain a key figure for Arsenal in domestic and European competitions, while building a life off the pitch with Benson by his side.
