Ledley King has raved about Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe on Sky Sports Premier League (6:48pm, September 26, 2021).
The Tottenham Hotspur legend was impressed by the display produced by Arsenal duo Saka and Smith Rowe in the North London derby against Spurs at the Emirates Stadium this past weekend.
Arsenal got the better of Tottenham 3-1 in the Premier League game.
Attackers Smith Rowe, 21, and Saka, 20, both scored.
King said about Saka and Smith Rowe on Sky Sports Premier League (6:48pm, September 26, 2021): “Yeah, I have been very impressed with them over the last year or so.
“Today they were very good. They are the guys that bring energy to the team more than some of the senior players at times.”
Gems
Saka and Smith Rowe are Hale End graduates and have established themselves as key figures in the current Arsenal team.
The two English players were superb in the North London derby and showed that the future of Arsenal is very bright and promising.
However, we have to be careful about piling too much pressure on these two young players.
After all, Saka is only 20 and Smith Rowe a year older.
We have to accept and understand that both the players will have bad spells.
When that happens, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, the rest of the players, and the fans will have to support them.
As for now, the Arsenal fans should revel in the fact that they have two of the brightest young players in England.
