Thierry Henry has said on Amazon Prime Video (7:39pm, December 2, 2021) that Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe make him watch the Gunners right now.
The Arsenal legend made the comments about the two Gunners ahead of the Premier League game against Manchester United on Thursday evening.
Henry said: “We saw the guys before, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe. When I watch Arsenal, those are the two guys that I relate to.
“I can see that it matters to them. Those are the two players that make me watch Arsenal.”
Saka and Smith Rowe are Arsenal gems
Arsenal do have a number of quality players.
But, like Henry, we have to say that Saka and Smith Rowe are Arsenal gems.
The two attacking players have come through the Arsenal academy and know what it means to play for the North London club.
The Hale End graduates are very popular among the Arsenal fans as well.
What is very encouraging about Saka and Smith Rowe is that they are now both key members of Arsenal’s first team.
It’s all well and good having young players getting chances in the first team.
But, they need to be playing regularly at the top level.
Saka, 20, and Smith Rowe, 21, are doing just that.
The two England internationals are a big reason why Arsenal are doing so well in the Premier League table at the moment and could finish in the Champions League places.
