The viral moment comes at a time when Saka himself is generating plenty of buzz on the pitch.
After a brief spell out with injury, the 23-year-old made a triumphant return by scoring in Arsenal’s 2-1 midweek victory over Fulham.
He also came off the bench during the Gunners’ 1-1 draw against Everton, showing promising form ahead of a critical period in the club’s season.
With Arsenal set to face Real Madrid in a blockbuster UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash, Saka is expected to play a key role in Mikel Arteta’s setup.
The North London side is also working to secure the long-term future of their star winger, who has two years remaining on his current deal.
