Saka, 24, has been at the forefront of Arsenal’s transformation over the past six years and fans can expect a peek behind the curtain of that journey with ‘Bukayo Saka: The Time is Now’.
The documentary, directed by Emmy winner Robert Alexander, will feature both Saka and club legend Henry.
The project has been billed as an “unguarded look at what it takes to perform at the highest level” and will also dive into Saka’s private support system away from the pitch.
Henry’s involvement in the film comes after the two-time Premier League champion sent messages of support to Saka and shifted his perspective after the low of the Euro 2020 final.

Saka, 19 at the time, missed the decisive spot-kick as England lost to Italy on penalties under the Wembley arch, which led to a slew of online abuse.
Saka said: “This film has given me the chance to tell my story in a way I never have before.
“People see the goals and the matches, but they don’t see what it takes behind the scenes, and part of that is my support system, the WhatsApp messages from the people who were there long before any of this who have believed in me every step of the way.”
Director Robert Alexander added: “For a few days filming together in London we were able to capture conversations of honesty, admiration, and love between Thierry Henry and Bukayo Saka.

“The superstars showed us that despite the greatest fame and success, we are all fighting for the ultimate goal — happiness.
“My hope is that this film will remind viewers that just by chasing our own dreams, we inspire others to do the same.
“The fuel necessary to keep us going is from the people who love us, support us, and believe in us.
“But the most powerful motivator of all is our younger self — the kid who first discovered the magical feeling and purpose that dreaming gave us.”
The documentary is set to be released on Disney+ from June 5.
