Arsenal F.C. sensation, Bukayo Saka has embarked on an exciting new venture beyond the realm of sports, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 22-year old winger, who has played an instrumental role in Arsenal’s success throughout the ongoing Premier League Season, boasts an impressive record of 16 goals and 15 assists in 37 matches, solidifying his status as one of the league’s most promising talents.
However, Saka’s latest endeavour has seen him venture into uncharted territory: the culinary world.
In a surprising move off the pitch, the football star has announced the launch of his own peri-peri sauce, aptly called “Peri-Peri Saka”, in collaboration with renowned South African multinational franchise Nando’s.
In the creative announcement video shared on Instagram., Saka takes on the role of Head Chef at a Nando’s restaurant, guiding fellow chefs through the process of crafting the perfect sauce. With a dash of his own flair, Saka adds extra chili to the sauce, infusing it with fiery spiciness.

The unveiling of “Peri-Peri Saka” has garnered widespread attention and support from fans and fellow footballers alike. Manchester United’s Luke Shaw and Saka’s Arsenal teammate, Declan Rice, were among the first to join Saka at a Nando’s restaurant to sample the new peri-peri sauce.
Saka’s foray into the culinary world has sparked a wave of positive reactions from fans, who now refer to him as a “cook” both on and off the pitch.
