Emile Smith-Rowe

At this point, you simply have to feel sorry for Emile Smith-Rowe. The 22-year-old was brought on as a substitute in Arsenal’s 3-2 win over Bournemouth at the weekend – only to be subbed off himself after sustaining yet another injury.


He draws comparisons to Jack Wilshere – a former Arsenal and West Ham player of enormous talent who was also perpetually out with injuries.

When fit, Smith-Rowe is a great attacking player. He possesses wonderful dribbling ability and passing – however, perhaps his most impressive attribute is his creativity.
