The academy graduate stole the spotlight while on vacation, debuting two unrecognisable looks within weeks of each other.
He first showed off a shaved buzz cut that drew comparisons to Liverpool legend Sadio Mane, before switching things up again with a new set of braids, shared in photos alongside his fiancée, Tolami Benson.
Saka's braids spark reactions at training base
Following his deserved break after the World Cup, Bukayo Saka returned to Arsenal's training camp, where he was spotted wearing the braids, immediately sparking fresh reactions around the base.
A staff member who shares a good rapport with him could not resist remarking on the transformation, saying:
"Everyone thought you went bald. We thought you shaved your hair."
Saka firmly shut down the suggestion, replying simply:
"Never."
Below is the X clip of an Arsenal staff member teasing Saka over his new hairstyle.
