Bukayo Saka paid for 120 children to undergo surgery that saved their lives

In partnership with charity organisation Big Shoe, Bukayo Saka generously paid for about 120 children diagnosed with hernias and brain tumours to undergo surgeries that saved their lives.

Most children were from Kano, Nigeria’s second-largest city, and will remain eternally grateful to the Arsenal man.

Quoted by talkSPORT, Saka said: “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. This isn’t about me, it is about the 120 children.”
