Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has raved about his Gunners and England international teammate Emile Smith Rowe on Ben Foster’s YouTube channel.

Speaking to Watford goalkeeper Foster on his podcast, Ramsdale said that Smith Rowe steps up his game when he plays against the top teams.

Ramsdale said about Smith Rowe on Foster’s YouTube channel: “When he plays against the top teams, he plays better because he concentres more.”

Gem

In our opinion, Smith Rowe is an Arsenal gem and can only get better in the coming years.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has established himself as a key figure in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s team.

Smith Rowe has also played twice for England, scoring one goal in the process.

The Arsenal no. 10 has made 13 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season.

The 21-year-old has scored eight goals and provided two assists in those matches.

Smith Rowe scored two goals and gave four assists in 18 Premier League starts for Arsenal last season.

The Arsenal attacking midfielder has added goals to his game, and, in our view, that only makes himself more valuable to the team.

Arsenal are aiming to finish in the Premier League top four, and one of the reasons for that is the form of Smith Rowe.
