VERSUS sat down exclusively with BS7 to talk about the seemingly never ending highs of his young but fruitful career, and what’s next for Arsenal’s starboy.

When he arrives, Bukayo enters with all the charm and humility one would expect of the great player for Arsenal. As he enters the changing area, where our stylist is waiting for him, there is an intuitive air of confidence emanating from him.

When seeing the rail of clothes laid out before him for the first time, ‘B’ – as his club rep affectionately refers to him – immediately gravitates towards the loudest, most ‘out-there’ fit on display: an all-leather Prada AW22 boiler suit accompanied by a leather overcoat and complemented with a pair of Gentle Monster sunglasses, chosen specifically by the young baller himself.

If you couldn’t already tell, as a player and individual, Bukayo is now totally fearless – both in his on-pitch prowess and uncompromising stylistic self-expression. While he’s enjoying his time perusing pieces on offer from some of the biggest fashion labels in the game – Prada, A-COLD-WALL, Off-White and Bottega Veneta to name a few – we kick off the interview.
