In a Q/A session on Twitter, Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has praised the recent performances of Emile Smith Rowe in the number 10 position.

The 20-year-old made only his second Premier League start of his career against Chelsea last month and he has since established himself.

He has contributed one goal and two assists in his last four appearances in all competitions and has already won over many Gunners fans.

Ozil had been a regular for the Gunners in the number 10 spot for a number of years and he is now pleased with the progress shown by the Hale End graduate from the same role.

In a Q/A session on Twitter, Ozil expressed his delight over the recent displays from the youngster and acknowledged that he has made the difference.

He made the difference in the last couple of games as a No 10 – really happy for him… and that he showed that playing with a No 10 still can make sense in today’s football.
