BUKAYO SAKA baffled BBC presenter Kelly Somers with his bizarre childhood breakfast.
Saka joined the Arsenal academy as a young schoolboy and spent the following ten years charging towards the first team.
And when his parents were hard at work, he had to get down a brekkie hearty enough to see him through school and training.
But a hot cross bun filled with chopped-up Frankfurters isn’t quite the cutting-edge nutrition Somers expected.
Ealing-born Saka told Match of the Day: “Being at home I just remember waking up, we’d have breakfast. My mum would normally have gone to work. My dad was always around, and if he had to go to work, it was just me and my brother but they’d always leave us breakfast.
“Hot cross bun. Sausage, like sausage cut up. Do you know Frankfurter sausages? And some ketchup. That was my breakfast.
“You cut the hot cross bun, cut the sausage up, put it in the hot cross bun, then put ketchup, then close the hot cross bun. It’s unreal.
“Credit to my dad, or my mum. I don’t know whose idea it was.”
Somers admitted she “wasn’t sure” about the concoction and had “so many questions” to ask the Arsenal man.
Social media users weren’t convinced either, with one writing on X: “I love Bukayo, but he’s had a mare there.”

Saka confirmed that he’s ditched the Frankfurter-filled hot cross bun now that he’s a key man for Arsenal and England.
The 24-year-old is Mikel Arteta‘s second-top-scorer in the Premier League with three goals, and he’s bagged another three in cup competitions.
The Gunners boss will need him to turn up in the North London derby this weekend amid a wave of injuries.
Kai Havertz, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus are all at risk of missing the showdown – and that’s just in attack – but Martin Odegaard is expected to return.
