Selfless England and Arsenal star Bukayo Saka funds 120 life-changing operations for Nigerian children in desperate need of help after teaming up with charity

Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka has helped fund 120 life-changing operations for children in Nigeria.

Saka, 21, is preparing to take part in his first World Cup after earning a call-up to Gareth Southgate's England squad - but that hasn't distracted him from matters elsewhere.

In co-operation with youth charity BigShoe, the winger played a crucial role in medical procedures for children of Kano that occurred last month.
