Bukayo Saka is said to be engaged to his long-term girlfriend, Tolami Benson, after the Arsenal star popped the question at a top London hotel.

Saka and Benson, both 24, have been together for five years. And the happy couple are now planning for the rest of their lives together following a 'special' night. The England ace is said to have gone 'all out' on the proposal and chosen an 'absolutely enormous' engagement ring, according to The Sun. Tolami is said to have been totally blown away by the evening.

The couple have kept out of the spotlight, but the relationship was first noted publicly during the 2022 World Cup, where Benson supported Saka from the stands. She was again spotted cheering her boyfriend on during Euro 2024, and the pair enjoyed a pitchside kiss after England's draw with Slovenia earlier this year.

Benson is said to have studied Public Relations and Media at Birmingham University and is now a senior planning exec in London.

It has been a successful period for Saka, who is having as much success on the pitch as in his love life. Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday to top the group phase table after five matches.

The Gunners are also setting the pace in the Premier League. They can stamp their authority on proceedings with a victory when they face second-placed Chelsea at the weekend. And that would help satisfy Saka's ambitions, he has a simple hope for his career. "All the trophies - Arsenal and England. It's definitely something I want to achieve in my career," he said recently.

Manager Mikel Arteta believes Saka will leave an Arsenal legacy. "I am very aware that he wants to continue with us," the Spaniard said. "I think it's a very healthy and powerful relationship. The journey that he has had at the club, and what he has become, is something we want to maintain.

"I think that is something that is going to leave a legacy at this club and he needs to fulfil that role."
