Meet Bukayo Saka Brother Abayomi Saka
Bukayo Saka has a brother Abayomi Saka, who many people and his fans want to know.
They are under the impression that Saka is the only child of his parents, mother Adenike and father Yomi Saka. It may be because the promising young Arsenal and England forward has rarely spoken of his brother. Neither has he uploaded any pictures on social media together.
The truth, however, is that Saka has a brother named Abayomi, who is older than he is. They are both just a few years apart in age and started playing football before they were even able to walk properly.
When Bukayo and his brother were younger, their father, Yomi, would show them how to play and then play with them in the backyard garden. "From the age of 3 or 4, I would be playing football at home in the garden with my dad and my older brother." the Arsenal player said on arsenal.com.
Even when his father and brother called it a game, Bukayo was stubborn and used to insist they play longer. The two Saka brothers gradually developed into becoming football players but in different positions.
While Saka loves to take the ball forward rather often and eventually became a winger who preferred to play from the left side of the field, Abayomi, Saka's elder brother, was more of a defensive player in the past.
Abayomi played as a central defender of Watford until age 14. Then he decided to shift his focus and career to his study and left his brother Bukayo to be the footballer in his house.
The family moved from Greenford, but Abayomi does not live with them. He joined a university in Reading and now lives there until he finishes his education. However, he is still close to the family and his brother Bukayo, and they often communicate through text and video calls.
Abayomi is very proud of his brother Bukayo's success as a professional football player, even though he gave up on his own aspirations of being a professional football player.
