The gathering came after Arsenal’s excellent 3-1 Premier League victory over Southampton.

Saka, noted for his modesty on and off the pitch, celebrated in style with friends, family and music industry luminaries. 

According to Daily Mail, one of the night’s highlights was Saka dancing with his girlfriend, Tolami Benson, who looked magnificent in an all-white off-the-shoulder outfit.

A saxophonist serenaded the couple, adding to the ambience and making the event unique and intimate.

Saka’s close buddy, British rapper Dave, also performed that night. The rapper performed a unique set that included his popular song “Location,” which is a fan favourite and has achieved huge chart success.

Wizkid was another standout performer, bringing his global Afrobeats sound to the event. The Nigerian superstar’s performance was a standout of the event, as he joined Saka in commemorating the footballer’s milestone birthday.

During his appreciation speech, Saka thanked his friends, family, and teammates for attending. He said:

‘I want to thank Santan Dave, he put on a great performance for all of us,’ Saka said. ‘I am going to start with my team, I spend every day with you guys, sometimes too much time but honestly, I love you all.

‘I love all of you guys and I appreciate you coming. This year, I really believe we’re going to win the league.’

He added: ‘The girlfriends, the wives, all of the friends that came, you guys are even more special. I see the smile that everyone comes in with. I am incredibly grateful for you as well.

‘My family as well, my cousins my brothers, I love you. You guys mean everything to me. Thank you, everyone, for making tonight special for me and let’s enjoy the rest of the night.’
