Speaking to Arsenal’s website, Saka expressed the profound impact of receiving these letters: “It [these letters] makes me smile. These kind of things mean more than anything in the world. To make children happy and give them the opportunity to enjoy their lives in the way that most of us here are able to do enjoy and do what we love.”
