Arsenal: 3 reasons Emile Smith Rowe the only replacement needed

1. He’s just good

It sounds stupid that I have to point this out, but if we want to gush over these other young players that could replace Ozil, like Orkun Kokcu or Dominik Szoboszlai, then why can’t we look at our own young player, who is absolutely worthy of being gushed over?

Smith Rowe was already on the brink of being ready before this loan, and the fact that his loan moves have been so productive, even when they didn’t seem productive (RB Leipzig) is proof that his quality is translating across borders and across leagues.

Smith Rowe is making strides in England now and it’ll be high time to give him the chance that Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Eddie Nketiah have no had because he has all the makings of someone who should be in the same league as them.

There you have it, Smith Rowe is free, he’s just plain good, and he can let us down from this stubborn reliance on the No. 10 role. What more could you want?
