Jack Wilshere has taken to Twitter to say that one Arsenal player does something you don’t seen too often nowadays.

The Gunners academy graduate, who now plays for Bournemouth, was hosting a Q&A session on Twitter yesterday evening.

One supporter asked for his thoughts on Emile Smith Rowe, and Wilshere gave a very interesting answer.

Evidently, the 34-cap England international rates the 20-year-old highly, and so he should – the £20,000-a-week playmaker has been utterly fantastic.

Smith Rowe has taken to life under Mikel Arteta like a duck to water.

The former RB Leipzig and Huddersfield loanee has registered three assists in just five Premier League appearances this season.

Arsenal’s No.32 has really made a difference to the Gunners since coming into the starting XI, and that is testament to his vast footballing ability.

According to WhoScored, Smith Rowe is averaging two key passes a game – as Wilshere alludes to, he clearly is playing with his head up.

In heartbreaking fashion, Wilshere never lived up to his tremendous potential due to a series of cruel, cruel injuries.

Smith Rowe appears to have a very similar skillset to the Cherries maestro, and hopefully, he can have the career Wilshere never had at the Emirates.
