Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka is leaving no stone unturned in utilizing his summer break for quality time with lover Tolami Benson.
The England star has shared a splash of beautiful footage with Tolami as he winds up his well-earned break after 2024 Euros.
Recall Arsenal approved lengthy breaks for the club’s stars who were on duty with their respective national teams in the 2024 Euros.
Bukayo Saka alongside the likes of Declan Rice and Aaron Ramsdale fell into the category of players with waivers for a longer summer due to their participation in the continental showpiece.
It wasn’t the best outing for Arsenal stars in the tournament. William Saliba’s France crashed out in the quarter-finals. Kai Havertz’s Germany were bundled out in the round of 16, Bukayo Saka, Aaron Ramsdale, and Declan Rice’s England suffered a heartache in the final, losing 2-1 to Spain.
Saka played an integral role in the campaign, starting the three Lions’ seven matches and powering the team to the final of the tournament. However, it ended in a heartbreak in the final.
Away from the nightmare final loss to La Roja at the Olympiastadion, Bukayo Saka appears to have moved on and is refreshing up for the new challenge, thanks to the jocund companionship of his 23-year-old lover, Tolami.
In a photo splash on his Instagram, Saka shared multiple slides of his luxurious adventure with Tolami. Close sources said the pair flew away from London to Caicos and Turks to soak some sun and have fun.
In one of the slides, Bukayo Saka could be seen relaxing by the pool with Tolami while kneeling on a paddle and sailing in the red-blue sea.
Tolami Benson also shared footage of her joining the footballer on a paddle-ride.
In another footage, Saka could be seen resting after a grueling training session as he prepares for the next campaign. He captioned the post, ”rest and reset.”
Bukayo Saka and Tolami relationship
The exact time Saka and Tolami started dating is yet to be deciphered. However, the pair have reportedly been seen together since 2020 but made their first public appearance during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Since then, Tolami has been a regular at the Emirates Stadium to watch Bukayo Saka play. Recently in the 2024 Euros, she was among England wags who joined England fans in the stadiums to cheer the national team and their partners to victory.
We reported and shared footage of the 23-year-old in a deep romantic snog with Saka in the tournament after the latter bagged the MOTM award in England’s knockout win over Switzerland.
The beautiful blonde was also seen with Bukayo Saka’s MOTM laurel after the match as he celebrated the triumph.
While Saka has been in our faces with his footballing heroics, Tolami Benson has been a relatively distant figure. She was zoomed into the spotlight following her relationship with Bukayo Saka.
She reportedly studied Public Relations and Media Public Relations at Birmingham University and works with Zenith as Senior Planning Executive.
Tolami Benson also balances her professional life with a glam lifestyle on social media. She boasts an impressive 200k followers on Instagram, where she regularly shares her jocund and luxurious adventures.
Bukayo Saka preparation for 2024-25 season
Bukayo Saka has played a crucial role in Arsenal’s Premier League title charge in the last seasons. He scored 14 goals with 11 assists in 38 Premier League appearances in the 2022-23 season.
Last season, he raised his goal tally to 16 goals with 9 assists in 35 Premier League games. With the 2024-25 season, at the corner, the 22-year-old will hope to continue on his sterling form with the London outfit.
