“He has only started just three games this season but he’s very fantastic in those games. I promise him to start against West Ham”- Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta has promised to start ‘extraordinary’ Arsenal talent for the third time this year against West Ham after recent frustrations from the star player

MIKEL ARTETA COULD START ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ ARSENAL TALENT FOR JUST THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR VS WEST HAM

Arsenal take on West Ham United on Thursday, and Mikel Arteta could hand Emile Smith Rowe a rare start.

The Gunners retained their place at the top of the Premier League table after the draw against Liverpool last weekend. They will want to return to winning ways this week, and Smith Rowe could help them pick up all three points against the Hammers.
