Saka, 24, first unveiled the new look via his Instagram story late last month, sharing a photo of himself in sunglasses with his familiar sponge twists gone.
The unveiling comes off the back of a strong World Cup campaign for the winger, who helped England claim bronze at the 2026 tournament, scoring a hat-trick against France and finishing the competition with three goals and three assists.
With the new season approaching, Saka is expected to play a central role in Arsenal's title defence under manager Mikel Arteta.
Saka's new trim resurfaces in fresh photo
The transformation resurfaced online after football account DAZN Football shared a fresh photo on X, captioning it:
"Bukayo Saka premieres a new trim! ✂️"
The post paired a photo of Saka celebrating on the pitch in an England shirt, with a circular inset showing his new shaved look, alongside a solo photo of him in sunglasses displaying the fresh cut.
The photos of Saka's new look shared by DAZN ON X are below.
Fans react to Saka's dramatic transformation
The new look has sparked plenty of reactions and comparisons online, with fans jokingly nicknaming the mature, low-profile style "Unc mode."
Former Arsenal player Nuno Tavares compared him to Liverpool legend Sadio Mane in a comment on Saka's Instagram story, while other fans likened the look to NBA star LeBron James and even a young KSI.
One user jokingly nicknamed him "Bukayo Gorimapa."
Despite the jokes, many fans framed the fresh cut as a symbolic signal that Saka is locked in and ready to step up for the season ahead.
