They Fіnаlly Meet:  Bukayo Saka Welcomes 8-Year-Old Teddy Gregory to Arsenal.

   

Last summer, 7-year-old Teddy wrote a heartfelt letter to Bukayo expressing his condolences for missing a penalty in the Euro final at Wembley, as previously reported by Island Echo.

In his letter, Teddy wrote:

“I hоpe yоu’re nоt sad anymоre. If yоu were here with me, I wоuld buy yоu an ice cream frоm the ice cream truck with my allоwance, and we wоuld play sоccer in the park, and I wоuld let yоu win. But really, yоu will beat me because yоu are sо gооd.â€

Bukayo read Teddy’s letter in a video posted on the BBC website, which was viewed by thousands of people online. The Arsenal and England star expressed his wish to meet the boy who wrote the touching letter. This year, Teddy’s family arranged for him to visit Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium for his birthday on January 29. Teddy’s mother, Elizabeth, asked the club if her son could meet Bukayo.

It was a heartwarming moment when Teddy finally got the chance to meet his idol, Bukayo Saka, at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. The meeting was a dream come true for Teddy, who had touched the hearts of many with his compassionate letter.
