Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has confirmed his engagement to long-term girlfriend, Tolami Benson.
The England international popped the question at a top hotel in London last week.
Saka and Benson, both 24, have been together for five years, but only went public during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar when they were pictured embracing in the stands in Doha.
The engagement follows on from a positive week for Saka on the pitch as he captained Arsenal to victory in the north London derby over Tottenham and then a Champions League win against Bayern Munich.
Wearing the captain's armband in the absence of Martin Odegaard, Saka claimed an assist for Jurrien Timber against Bayern on Wednesday night before being substituted in the second half.
The winger is expected to start Sunday’s London derby against Chelsea as the Gunners bid to move nine points clear of their rivals at the top of the Premier League table.
Saka has scored three goals in 11 appearances against the Blues, including a penalty at Stamford Bridge in the 2021-22 season as Arsenal ran out 4-2 winners.
