Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe has a “very good” working relationship with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, according to football.london.

The 20-year-old has made a sensational breakthrough this season, becoming the latest Hale End star to become a first-team regular under Arteta.

Smith Rowe has made 13 Premier League appearances in the current campaign, registering four assists, and has scored in the FA Cup and Europa League.

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

According to football.london, Smith Rowe is enjoying life under Arteta, a coach who he called “amazing” in a recent post-match interview.

Likewise, the Spaniard rates the player highly, previously saying he has been “phenomenal for us”.

Following Bukayo Saka’s stellar breakthrough last season, Smith Rowe has become the latest Hale End star to break into the senior team and have a major impact.

In the first half of the season, Arsenal were desperate for a No. 10 and Smith Rowe was just what they needed – now they have two, with Martin Odegaard on loan from Real Madrid.

And given how Arteta has high standards and hasn’t been afraid to freeze players out, it’s great to hear that he loves working with Smith Rowe.

It also says a lot about the player’s superb attitude and workrate which, along with his talent, make him a top-class talent.
