Arsenal U23 coach Ljungberg: Emery and I both think same about Smith-Rowe

Arsenal U23 coach Freddie Ljungberg is impressed by Emile Smith-Rowe.

Smith Rowe scored the opener in Arsenal Under-21's 3-0 win at Coventry in the EFL Trophy and looked a class apart even against League One opposition.

“Unai (Emery) has seen a lot, he knows. Emile has a great career in front of him," Ljungberg said.

“His presence and the way he behaves, for me he's a role model for everyone at our club. The respect he shows people and then on the pitch he plays so well.

“If any young players want to look at how I think a player should behave they should look at him. With all the success he has got he is still as humble as he was before."
