Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka met Wizkid on Sunday night at the Emirates after the Gunners defeated Liverpool 3-1 in the Premier League.
The youngster, who has Nigerian roots, signed his autograph on a jersey as a gift to the Afrobeat star.
Saka scored Arsenal’s first goal on the night in the first half. A Gabriel Magalhaes own goal at the closing stage of the first half ensured Liverpool, who were missing Mohamed Salah to injury, had a lifeline.
However, Arsenal were the better side in the other half. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard sealed the victory for the hosts and ultimately blew the title race open.
