A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react to comments from Emile Smith Rowe concerning previous interest in him from Tottenham Hotspur.

Smith Rowe has been outstanding for the Gunners in the opening months of the season. He has scored four times in the Premier League.

His form has earned Smith Rowe a call-up to the senior England squad with both Marcus Rashford and James Ward Prowse withdrawing.

It is a huge moment in the career of the 21-year-old. And he may feel that it is vindication for choosing to not leave the Emirates at any stage on his way to becoming a key player under Mikel Arteta.

It turns out one of the sides who tried to lure Smith Rowe away was their biggest rivals, Tottenham. The attacking midfielder claimed – in comments reported by The Telegraph – that he had the chance to join Spurs five years ago.

However, he noted that he is an Arsenal supporter, so he never wanted to leave.

Unsurprisingly, the comments have gone down incredibly well amongst some of the Arsenal fans on social media.

Smith Rowe is, understandably, an incredibly popular member of the squad. He was a rare positive in a difficult 12 months for the Gunners. And he continues to make a huge impact now that Arsenal are moving forward.
