The last couple of years since he brought himself and it all back home, Des Ryan has been going around, spreading the word and the science, imparting to coaches and illustrating to kids in GAA and other sports clubs and academies across the country some of the ways which have helped mould a Bukayo Saka.

For Ryan it just feels right, fitting, giving back. After all it was how expertly some things were already being done in Ireland that brought him to Arsenal in the first place.
