Alexandre Lacazette told Super Sunday on Sky Sports that his Arsenal teammate, Emile Smith Rowe, is someone who ‘keeps everything inside’.
The in-form striker shared that the thriving Arsenal 20-year-old is someone who ‘you need to talk to’ and also ‘give him confidence’.
Judging by the way Smith Rowe plays, not many would think he is a player that needs boosting, for whatever reason.
But Lacazette shared what the quick-thinking ball-carrying expert is like.
“I would say someone like Emile is more, I wouldn’t say shy, but he keeps everything inside,” said Lacazette.
“So, you need to talk to him and give him confidence. To make sure he doesn’t think about the stress or something like this.”
Well, as long as Smith Rowe continues to make the ball talk, Arsenal fans won’t care a jot if he’s quite away from the pitch or not.
At the start of the season, Arsenal were searching for that playmaking expert.
And whilst they took their time to turn to Smith Rowe’s talents, he is now showcasing Mikel Arteta as to what he missed out on at the start of the campaign.
