And Saka returned to where his road to stardom began, meeting the next crop of youngsters hoping to follow in his footsteps.

His emotional return saw him watch a match between Arsenal and Charlton’s kids.

After the game, a youngster at the League One club approached the England star and begged: “Can you join Charlton?”

Saka responded: “Nah, nah Arsenal’s in my heart too much. Sorry guys, sorry.”

His polite rejection made Gunners fans reaffirm their love for him.

One said: “Nice answer from Saka.”

Another added: “That’s why I wouldn’t swap Starboy for anyone else. Arsenal is in his heart, he’s in ours. Top, top man.”

A third commented: “He’s still respectful that’s my GOAT.”

More joked: “Get this kid a medal for trying.”

Charlton could certainly do with someone of Saka’s quality as they are in a battle to avoid relegation to League Two after a horror run of results.

Their last league win came against Cheltenham on November 28.
