Arsenal prospect Emile Smith Rowe admits he looks up to teammate Mesut Ozil.

Smith Rowe has this season been on-loan with Huddersfield Town.

"At Arsenal, I look up to Mesut Ozil a lot," he told The National. “I watch him in training and the movement he has and the little touches he does.

"For me to train with him every day, I can't think of anything better.

“I like to be versatile and I can also play in other positions

“But I probably would say I do enjoy playing in the No. 10 position the most."

He continued: "In that era when [Lionel] Messi, [Andres] Iniesta and Xavi were in the Barcelona team, I used to watch almost every game with my dad.

"Since Kevin de Bruyne joined [Manchester] City, I like to base my game around him.

"I look up to him so much. I just like the way he plays and everything he does."

Hopes are high for Smith Rowe and the under-17 World Cup winner is desperate to make his mark for the Londoners.

“My dream was always to play for Arsenal," he said. “I used to watch Thierry Henry a lot.

"Dennis Bergkamp was definitely a player I always looked up to. We play in a similar position.

"Freddie Ljungberg was there and he is working at Arsenal now, helping all the young players."
