London –
Emile Smith Rowe is now the number 10 owner at Arsenal. He hopes to be as great Dennis Bergkamp and Mesut Oezil.
Smith Rowe has just extended his contract at Arsenal. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder will be at the Emirates Stadium until 2026.
After agreeing to a new contract, Smith Rowe was then announced as the owner of the number 10 jersey, leaving the number 32. The number was last worn by Mesut Ozil.
Long back before Ozil, the number 10 shirt at Arsenal was worn by Bergkamp. The man from the Netherlands appeared sip with the number.
Well, Smith Rowe hopes to repeat the success of Ozil and Bergkamp with the number 10 costume. The two former London cannons have contributed to Smith Rowe’s inspiration in playing football.
“When I was a kid I used to watch Dennis Bergkamp, and when I was in the academy, Mesut Ozil was here too and getting the chance to train with him and playing with him was unbelievable,” said Smith Rowe as quoted from Arsenal’s official website.
“I just want to keep working hard and hopefully I can play like them, emulating what they have done.”
The number 10 that Smith Rowe got was the result of his request. He is also aware that there is a responsibility that must be borne by his request which has been granted by Arsenal.
“Everyone knows that the number 10 is a big jersey and it’s definitely a big position too. So, to be honest I’m excited, I can’t wait to get on the pitch soon.”
“It’s really special – I can’t describe the feeling when I found out. I don’t have the words to describe it right now! But yeah, I’m so excited,” Smith Rowe insists.
