Tim Sherwood said on Sky Sports News (2:10pm, February 20, 2021) that Emile Smith Rowe has been outstanding for Arsenal so far this season.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa manager, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, has also been impressed by winger Bukayo Saka.

Sherwood further said that Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has got his mojo back following his hat-trick against Leeds United in the Premier League last weekend.

The Englishman said on Sky Sports News (2:10pm, February 20, 2021): “Smith Rowe has been outstanding, the young boy who has come in, Saka has been their Player of the Season, two academy boys.”

Sherwood added: “It looks like he (Aubameyang) has got his mojo back, and they certainly need that.”

Important player for Arsenal

Smith Rowe has been superb for Arsenal in recent weeks and appears to have stepped in nicely for the departed Mesut Ozil.

The 20-year-old is the number 10 in the team and is the creator-in-chief, and his performances have been very impressive indeed.

The attacking midfielder has provided four assists in 10 Premier League matches, and has scored one goal and given two assists in four Europa League games for the Gunners so far this season, according to WhoScored.

For Arsenal to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season and also win the Europa League, Smith Rowe will have to be on top of his game in the coming weeks and months.
