Per Mertesacker believes Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe can carry Arsenal back into the Champions League following a five-year absence from the competition.
Mertesacker, a former defender for the Gunners and now their academy director, insists the duo can inspire the club's future generations for many years to come after they rose through the ranks to become regulars in the first team.
Saka and Smith Rowe are two of Mikel Arteta's most trusted players and have shown glimpses this season of what Arsenal could achieve after years of underachievement for the club.
