‘Even Nando’s love the Arsenal’, say fans as Bukayo Saka launches own signature PERi-PERi sauce that ‘actually bangs’


BUKAYO SAKA has unveiled a signature brand of PERi-PERi sauce that he hopes is as “smoking” hot in the pot as his form on the pitch.

Fans claim “even Nando’s loves Arsenal” after the winger’s surprise loan transfer to become “head chef” at the chain restaurant.

The 22-year-old saw his limited edition “PERi-PERi Saka Sauce” launched just as England knuckle down to training for two prestigious friendlies.

Showing the confidence and individualism that has helped the Gunners top the Premier League, the Three Lions’ hero chose smoky BBQ and tomato alongside the eatery’s most famous sauce. 

Saka said: “The sauce mixes sweet, spiciness and smokiness. I love it and can’t wait for everyone to try it. 

“I’ve been going to Nando’s since I was little so to have my own PERi-PERi sauce in every restaurant in the country is quite mad!

“My family’s really important to me so I wanted to make sure they liked it, too. As soon as my Dad said he was a fan, I knew it was the one.”

Football supporters responded enthusiastically online, one joking: “Do any doctors follow me that could advise me on how many bottles of Saka’s Nandos sauce is *too many* to drink in a row?”

Another fan insisted the concoction “actually bangs” and a third suggested: “Saka with his own Nando’s sauce – this guy is generational.”

And yet more admirers called on him to launch more “collaborations”.

So with a great sense of timing, Saka proved he has a taste for glory on more than one front with a brief but brilliant diversion into the kitchen.

And apart from formulating his own sauce he played a key role in a light-hearted “Yes Chef” mini-movie that accompanied it.

Director Josh Cohen said via Sticker films: “We had such a great time shooting it.

“Bukayo really embraced the concept and his role as head chef!”
