Mesut Ozil has heaped praise on Arsenal youngster Emile Smith Rowe.
The 20-year-old has drawn comparisons to Ozil after bursting onto the scene with his creativity and poise in recent weeks.
The absence of Ozil – who was left out of the Premier League and Europa League squads – has given Smith Rowe a chance to shine.
But the veteran German is hardly bitter about the early success of his young teammate.
“He made the difference in the last couple of games as a No.10,” Ozil said during a question and answer session on Twitter.
“Really happy for him… and that he showed that playing with a No.10 still can make sense in today’s football.”
