Bukayo Saka presented a signed jersey to Nigeria's Afrobeat superstar, Ayodeji Balogun popularly known as Wizkid after the Gunners' victory over Liverpool on Sunday, February 4.
What happened?
Bukayo Saka shone like a million star as Arsenal defeated Liverpool 3-1 in a scintillating clash at the Emirates Stadium to return them to the Premier League title race.
While the game was ongoing, Wizkid was at the stadium to watch the Premier League clash while cheering on Saka and his Arsenal teammates.
After the game, the two spent time together in London. Afterward, Saka took to his Instagram page to share a photo of himself and the Grammy Award winner as the 22-year-old winger gifted the Made in Lagos crooner a signed Arsenal shirt.
Coincidentally, both personalities are widely referred to as Starboy by their respective fan bases, but Saka pointed Wizkid out and called him the real Starboy.
Along with a picture presenting Wizkid an Arsenal jersey was a caption that read, "Thanks for coming through to support bro, always good to see you @wizkidayo".
Wizkid is honored on the continent of Africa for contributing greatly in the growth of Afrobeat music across the world.
The Ojuelegba crooner has collaborated with some of the biggest music superstars in the world, including Beyonce, and Drake among several others.
Arsenal vs Liverpool in brief
Bukayo Saka was first to score for the eighteen-time English Premier League Champions after a wide chance from Kai Havertz fell kindly to the 22-year-old direction and he tapped into an empty net.
An own goal from Gabriel Malhaedes leveled the scores for Jurgen Klopp’s men before Alisson’s errors gave the Emirates outfit the lead.
Miscommunication between Becker and Virgil Van Dijk saw the Brazilian goalkeeper miss a clearance, leaving the goal gaping and Martinelli tapped home.
However, Leandro Trossard wrapped the game up in the final minutes of the game, sending the ball through the goalkeeper's legs.
Arsenal’s win against Liverpool sees them remain in third place on the English Premier League table, just two points behind league leaders.
Bukayo Saka, on the other hand, is hoping to guide Arsenal to end their 20-year wait for the Premier League title after the London outfit closed the gap at the top of the table with a triumph over the Reds.
Last season, the Gunners came close but fell short in the final round as Pep Guardiola's Manchester City beat them to the title.
What's next for Arsenal and Saka?
Bukayo Saka and his teammates will be getting ready for their next encounter in the Premier League when they face West Ham United on Sunday, February 11.
In addition, the 2006 UEFA Champions League runner-up were still eyeing Europe's top prize as they face FC Porto in the round of 16 on Wednesday, February 21.
