Tottenham Hotspur legend Ledley King has raved about Arsenal attacking midfielder Emile Smith Rowe on the Kelly & Wrighty Show.
The former Spurs defender believes that Arsenal star Smith Rowe is a tremendous player.
King has also urged the 21-year-old, who can operate as a winger, to score more goals.
What Ledley King has said
The Tottenham legend said about Smith Rowe on the Kelly & Wrighty Show: “He plays with maturity. He is 21, but he seems so much older the way he plays the game.
“Tremendous, tremendous player. Scoring goals is the next part of his game, it will take him to the next level. If he wants to be one of the best players in the game in that position, he has got to score goals.”
Emile Smith Rowe is a gem
King is a Spurs legend, and we all know the rivalry that exists between Tottenham and Arsenal.
That a (former?) North London rival rates Smith Rowe so highly shows just how good a player the Arsenal star is.
Smith Rowe’s rise has been exceptional, and we should not forget that he is only 21.
The attacking midfielder has established himself as a key figure in manager Mikel Arteta’sside.
Smith Rowe has also started to score goals more regularly this season.
The Arsenal no. 10 has scored four goals and provided two assists in 10 Premier League starts so far this season.
The English youngster has also scored one goal in two Carabao Cup appearances this campaign.
Smith Rowe scored two goals and gave four assists in the Premier League, and scored one goal and gave three assists in the Europa League last season.
