What Kim Kardashian told Arsenal star Bukayo Saka on video call after Europa League exit
Once again, Arsenal had a famous celebrity attending their Europa League game against Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night.
Kim Kardashian was the latest A-lister to show her support for the Gunners, following in the footsteps of other stars such as rapper Jay-Z and actors Jamie Foxx, Matt Damon, and Andrew Garfield who also support Mikel Arteta’s team.
Kardashian came to north London to watch the game and her attendance was part of a documentary she was filming.
Her visit to the Emirates Stadium came after her son, Saint, was spotted wearing Arsenal’s third kit at his birthday party in January, leading to speculation that the family are fans of the club.
Despite her presence, Arsenal suffered a disappointing exit from the Europa League.
On social media, Kardashian shared some behind-the-scenes pictures before the game, including photos of Prime, Arsenal’s official sports drink supplier, and William Saliba, who was featured in the matchday programme.
The 42-year-old influencer has also recently posted a video of her video call with Bukayo Saka, a rising star from Arsenal’s Hale End academy.
They reportedly planned another visit to the Emirates Stadium after the team’s defeat in the penalty shootout against Sporting.
According to reports, the video posted by Kardashian features a conversation between Saka, herself, and her children, during which Saka apologised for not being able to meet up with them after the match.
The Arsenal forward said: “Sorry I missed you guys yesterday (Thursday), I was told you were in the Players Lounge – I had a shirt for you!”
One of Kardashian’s children replied: “We’re going to come back if you win the Premier League.” The family quickly corrected this to “when” rather than “if” as Saka laughed and responded: “When!”
Saka continued: “Tell me when you’re coming back and I’ll get some t-shirts sorted!”

The video featured the caption: “And more surprises…the boys fave player for @Arsenal, @BukayoSaka87.”
As the season enters its final stretch with only 11 games left to play, Saka and the rest of the Arsenal squad will be hoping to clinch the club’s first Premier League title since 2004.
If they manage to bounce back from their recent Europa League defeat and secure a win against Crystal Palace on Sunday, they could move eight points ahead of Manchester City.
This could set up a potential reunion between Kardashian and her Arsenal-loving children with the Gunners as they continue their title challenge.
