Emile Smith Rowe heaps praise on former Arsenal teammate
Fulham midfielder Emile Smith Rowe has heaped praise on Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka. The two share a close bond having come through the Gunners' youth ranks at the same time and eventually breaking into the first team.
Smith Rowe and Saka both made their first-team debuts for Arsenal in 2018 and both became key members of the side. However, Saka's career took a whole other trajectory while Smith Rowe saw his stock fall at the Emirates because of persistent injury problems.
Saka is currently one of the key figures on Mikel Arteta's side while Smith Rowe left for Fulham in the summer. The latter struggled for minutes during the past two seasons at the north London club but has enjoyed a solid start to life at Fulham.
