In Young Guns, featured first in the official matchday programme, we find out about the next generation of Arsenal youngsters, in their own words.
This week we spoke to midfielder Emile Smith-Rowe:
I joined Arsenal when I was 10, after the mum of a team-mate that I played with in my
Sunday side recommended that Arsenal come and watch me. She used to work
for Arsenal and her son was already at Hale End. After a scout watched me, I was
invited for a trial and signed after a couple of weeks, it was then I started making the trip up from south London to Highams Park.
