3 Arsenal youngsters to look out for this season

#1 Emile Smith Rowe

Smith Rowe impressed fans with his goal

Days before his 18th birthday, he was named in the starting line-up against Atletico Madrid. Delightfully for him and the fans, Smith Rowe scored a stunning equalizer in the match and forced both sides to go into penalties. The youngster certainly has impressed Emery during training which gave him the golden opportunity to represent his team in the pre-season tour and be named in the starting eleven.

The attacking midfielder could find it hard to make his appearance in the Premier League next season as the likes of Mesut Ozil, Alex Iwobi, and other midfielders would take charge in the midfield. That being said, the English player could stay in the Arsenal academy or continue playing with the youth team in Premier League 2 instead of being loaned out.

Thus far, Smith Rowe has made a combined total of 37 appearances for Arsenal U18 and U23 squad, scoring 14 goals and creating four assists in the process. The 18-year-old could be used in the early stages of the Europa League competition or even in domestic cup ties by Emery. However, it is hard to foresee him making his senior appearance in the Premier League despite the early promise that he has shown. Nonetheless, he could become one of the great stars of the club in years to come.
