Arsenal youngster Emile Smith Rowe has revealed that he wants to play with the style of Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, according to a report on Goal.
The midfielder, who has come through Arsenal’s academy system, has put in some impressive performances for the first team this season.
Smith Rowe has seen himself get some valuable first team action in the cup competitions this season, such as the Europa League and the Carabao Cup.
The young Englishman is expected to start in today’s Carabao Cup clash with Blackpool at the Emirates Stadium.
When speaking about his rapid rise to the first team, he said:
When I was a kid I looked up to [Lionel] Messi and [Andries] Iniesta. Watching them play for Barcelona inspired me so much. The link-ups they had and the goals they scored and created were amazing.
Someone I inspire to play like is probably Kevin De Bruyne because of the way he plays.
I learn so much from the entire coaching staff and players every day. The training sessions are so intense which is really good for me to learn every day.
I need to stay focused every day, keep learning and keep taking on what all the coaches are telling me.
Smith Rowe scored his first senior goal for the club in the Europa League group stage match against Qarabag.
The 18-year-old knows that he must remain patient and is savouring every minute that he gets to play for his boyhood club.
