Asked to name the best player he has faced, Smith Rowe told the Daily Mail: “Paul Pogba is definitely up there. So strong, so technically good.
“Jack Grealish, too. He’s so good, man. I look up to him. The way he is with the ball. The way he scores, assists and creates, he’s so good. Bukayo [Saka] tells me he’s a great guy, too.”
Arsenal will return to Premier League action after the international break when they host Liverpool FC at The Emirates on Sunday 4 April.
The Gunners will then take on Slavia Prague in the quarter-finals of the Europa League on 8 April.
