Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter in response to a photo posted by Emile Smith Rowe, ahead of the Europa League clash with Dundalk today.
The 20-year-old posted a photo of himself in training along with the Europa League hashtag and a football emoji, which plenty of Arsenal fans reacted to.
Some called on Mikel Arteta to start the London-born attacker, while one other reacted by saying that they think Smith Rowe needs to leave the Emirates.
In regards to the first point, Arteta should definitely hand him his first start of the campaign.
So far this season, the academy prospect has only made two appearances from the bench in the Europa League.
Smith Rowe has kept himself match-fit by making three Premier League 2 appearances, in which he’s impressively netted three goals.
The former Huddersfield loanee also has one start to his name in the Papa John’s Trophy.
On the basis of his last Europa League outing, Smith Rowe has definitely done enough to earn a first start of the season later today.
Despite only playing the final 27 minutes against Rapid Wien, the prodigious talent managed to get on the scoresheet after an assist from Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Seeing as the Gunners have already qualified for the Round of 32, surely Arteta can afford to start him.
Let’s see what the Arsenal fans on Twitter have been saying…
