Emile Smith Rowe is the creative player Arsenal have needed this season.
That’s the view of former Gunners defender Alex Scott, who delivered his verdict on the 20-year-old after her first Premier League start to the season in a 3-1 win over Chelsea on Boxing Day. .
Smith Rowe was a somewhat surprising name in Arsenal’s starting lineup, benefiting from Willian’s absence to get his shot at the No. 10 role behind Alexandre Lacazette.
Despite not being on the roster or providing assistance, the playmaker caught the attention of the Sky Sports expert.

So much so that Scott believes that Smith Rowe deserves to keep his spot on the team for the Gunners’ next game against Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday.
In addition, the former defender named three other Arsenal players who he believes manager Mikel Arteta can build his squad.
“I think they deserve to keep their place going forward,” Scott told Sky Sports. “You have to earn the right to play.
“Each and every young man who was watching his age.
“Smith Rowe, I think Arsenal have been crying out all season for a creative player and he showed he deserved his place today.
“At 20 he has passed the rank.
“They have [Reiss] Nelson, [Bukayo] Saka that was outstanding.
“And I think in Kieran Tierney, they brought in a player for £ 25 million. An absolute bargain.
“This group of players is what you need to build on with Arsenal going forward.”

Scott’s comments would suggest that Arteta has discovered his last unreachable Arsenal after the victory over the Blues.
Saka has already carved a niche for himself at Gunners XI, and it remains to be seen if Smith Rowe can do the same.
Next up for the Gunners is back-to-back games against teams that surround them in the lower half of the table. After the trip to Brighton, they start in 2021 against West Brom.
