Noel Whelan praised Smith Rowe for being the complete midfielder.
The 21-year old youngster has delivered some fine performances for the Gunners this season and is undoubtedly one of the finest English talents to come across.
He has two goals and two assists from 9 Premier League games this season.
Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan believes that he is a midfielder that possesses everything that’s needed.
Whelan told Football Insider: “He’s got everything you’d want for a midfield player.
“He’s got the energy, tenacity and definitely has the quality – he can come up with assists and goals too.
“All in all, he’s the full midfield package. He can take the game by the scruff of the neck with his leadership and character, which at his age is very rare.
“Last season we saw him take the Premier League by storm – he was Arsenal’s catalyst and was playing like their captain, almost, the way he dragged them through the season.
“He’s definitely got the England squad written all over him.
“For a young player given so much responsibility, he’s proven he can handle that and use it well.”
