Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has praised Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe, saying he has the potential to be Mikel Arteta’s secret weapon in winning the league title.
Klopp believes that if Arteta gives Smith Rowe the chance, he can single-handedly lead the team to victory.
This comes amid speculation that Smith Rowe might leave the club, with Fulham and Crystal Palace showing interest.
However, Arsenal has rejected their bids, valuing him at £35 million.
Smith Rowe recently scored in Arsenal’s 2-0 friendly win over Leyton Orient, where he wore the captain’s armband and made an impact after being introduced at halftime.
His performance has sparked hope that he can make a significant contribution to the team this season.
Despite only making three league starts last season, Smith Rowe has shown his potential and is valued by Arteta, who wants him to stay at the club.
Arteta has consistently challenged Smith Rowe to improve, praising his performance in a start against Luton Town in April.
Smith Rowe is expected to be part of the Arsenal squad that flies to California on Sunday for their pre-season tour.
With his talent and potential, Smith Rowe could be a key player for Arsenal this season, and Arteta will likely give him opportunities to prove himself.
