Emile Smith Rowe names the PL player he wants to replicate

Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe has come to the center of attention following a series of eye-catching first team performances. Midfielder Smith Rowe earned the attention of Gunners fans and Unai Emery during their pre-season tour of Singapore - where he netted against Atletico Madrid. The 18-year-old, who is set to become one of Arsenal brightest stars has admitted he is targeting copying Belgian star De Bruyne. "Someone I inspire to play like is probably Kevin De Bruyne because of the way he plays," Smith Rowe told Goal. "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. “I’m obviously in a privileged position to most people but for me it’s about staying focused and getting the right advice from my family and the people around me." “When I was kid I looked up to Messi and Iniesta. "Watching them play for Barcelona inspired me so much. The link-ups they had and the goals they scored and created were amazing."
