Arsenal fullback Tierney: Smith Rowe? What a player!

Arsenal fullback Kieran Tierney is full of praise for Emile Smith Rowe and his impact this season.

Tierney admits he enjoys playing with him.

He told Sky Sports: "What a player, honestly. I think you can see how much I enjoy playing with him. The other day I linked up well with him.

"I thought there was a good understanding, off the pitch as well.

"He's a great guy and a humble guy, he will go very far in the game."

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has also expressed his admiration for the player and admitted he is one of the main men within the group.

He said: "He's got all the ability in the world to do that in a consistent way.

"And then as well it's his intelligence, it's how much he can read, understand and affect the game to make better decisions with the quality he has."
