A number of Arsenal fans have waxed lyrical about Emile Smith Rowe and Kieran Tierney after the Gunners defender said the Hale End star will go “very far” in the game.

Smith Rowe has made a sensational breakthrough this season, becoming the latest Hale End star to become a first-team regular under Mikel Arteta.

The 20-year-old has made 13 Premier League appearances this season, registering four assists, and has scored in the FA Cup and Europa League.

Crucially, Smith Rowe has given Arsenal something that was seriously lacking in the first half of the season – creativity in midfield.

And Tierney has no doubt as to how far Smith Rowe will go in the game.

Asked by Sky Sports about his combination with the young playmaker, Tierney said: “I think he’s amazing, what a player honestly.

“I think you could see how much I enjoyed to play with him as well the other day.

“I linked up well with him I thought there was a good understanding and off the pitch as well he’s a great guy, a humble guy and he will go very far.”

Needless to say, plenty of Arsenal fans were delighted with the interview, Tierney talking like a veteran at just 23 years of age and giving his seal of approval to a wonderfully talented player.
