Alexandre Lacazette has praised Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe as the 'present and future' of the club during their winter break training camp in Dubai.
The 21-year-old has been a crucial member of Mikel Arteta's squad ever since earning his first Premier League start on Boxing Day in 2020 against Chelsea.
He went on to score two Premier League goals and record four assists in the second half of last season and his fine form saw him rewarded with a new five-year contract and the No 10 shirt at Emirates Stadium in the summer.
