Bukayo Saka's proposal to Tolami 'blows fiancee away' as Arsenal star gets engaged

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has reportedly got engaged to long-term girlfriend Tolami Benson

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has reportedly got engaged to long-term girlfriend Tolami Benson after asking her to marry him during a date in London.

The couple have been together for five years, having started dating back in 2020. She if often seen supporting him in stadiums during games.

The Sun report that Saka went 'all out' for the proposal, with the ring he used described by a source as 'enormous'. They added: He’d organised a special night at a top London hotel and proposed there.

“It was incredibly special and Tolami was totally blown away.”

Saka and Benson first went public with their relationship at the World Cup in Qatar back in 2022 when she was spotted alongside the other partners supporting the team from the stands.

She was also present at Euro 2024, where she wore a jacked with the number 87 on, in recognition of Saka's first squad number when he first broke into the Arsenal team.

Like Saka, Benson is 24-years-old. She is a senior planning executive in London after graduating with a Public Relations and Media degree from Birmingham University.

The engagement is more good news for Saka following a positive start to the season for Arsenal in both the Premier League and the Champions League. The winger has worn the captain's armband in the absence of club captain Martin Odegaard.

In that time, the Gunners are unbeaten in all competitions. They sit top of both the Premier League and the Champions League table.

Wednesday night saw Mikel Arteta's side come out as 3-1 winners against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, with Saka getting an assist.

Arsenal are back in Premier League action on Sunday when they face second place Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (4.30pm kick-off). They go into the game knowing that a win will further strengthen their place at the top of the table.

Ahead of the game, the Gunners are six points ahead of their rivals, having earned 29 points from their opening 12 games of the campaign.
