Walcott, who played for Arsenal from 2006 until 2018, has said that he is a big fan of Smith Rowe.

The former Everton player has said that he was pleased to see the 21-year-old make his England debut last week.

Smith Rowe, who earns £42,000 per week (SalarySport), came on as a substitute for England against Albania in the 2022 World Cup qualifier last Friday night.

Emile Smith Rowe is a star

Like Walcott, we all have been impressed by Smith Rowe and his progress as a footballer.

The 21-year-old, who can also operate as a winger, has established himself as an important player in Arenal manger Mikel Arteta’s team.

The England international is one of the first names on the Gunners’ teamsheet.

Smith Rowe has actually started to add goals to his game now.

The Arsenal no. 10 has scored four goals and provided two assists in 11 Premier League games so far this season.

The youngster has scored one goal in two Carabao Cup gams this campaign.
