Smith Rowe’s rise continued earlier today as he replaced Marcus Rashford and James Ward-Prowse in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the side’s World Cup qualifiers versus Albania and San Marino.
And ex-Manchester United defender Ferdinand feels Smith Rowe has been central to Arsenal’s revival and waxed lyrical about the young Englishman on his Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE YouTube channel."There’s a team, there’s a united team. There’s a togetherness that I haven’t seen at Arsenal for a long time," Ferdinand said. "There’s nobody doing more right now than Emile Smith Rowe. "He reminds me, with more end product it seems right now and I think he’ll go onto levels, his style is a little bit Hleb. "He plays low, socks similar, the way he moves and manipulates the ball, can keep people off balance all game. He’s got a bit of Hleb about him. "He’s got a Robert Pires vibe a little bit."Source - Metro Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
