Arsenal star reveals why this has been the toughest season of his career despite title charge

Arsenal starlet Emile Smith Rowe has admitted that this has been the toughest season of his career so far.

Smith Rowe is yet to start a single Premier League match this term, battling with a number of fitness issues. The 22-year-old has surgery last year on a nagging groin problem before straining his thigh just after he was beginning to return to full fitness.

Now, the Hale End academy graduate has opened up on his personal struggles whilst also admitting that he is pleased to see Mikel Arteta's side challenging for the title even in his absence. "Yeah definitely it’s been tough," he told Sky Sports when asked about finding it difficult watching his teammates from the sidelines.
