Fulham forward Emile Smith Rowe is determine to help his old club beat former club Arsenal when the two sides meet in the Premier League on Sunday.
The 24-year-old has been a regular in Mikel Arteta’s side until he left the ยูฟ่าเบท club to join the Cottagers in the summer. And has been truste by Marco Silva to start 13 of the 14 games this season.
“At 24, you want to play every week and get regular opportunities,” Smith Rowe told BBC Radio 5 Live ahead of the clash with his former club. “It got to the point where for some reason I wasn’t getting the chance anymore. I had to make the decision to move on. Now I’ve got the chance and I’m really happy with it.”
“I obviously want to show them what I missed in terms of being there and leaving. But it’s not personal. I love them a lot but of course I want to win with Fulham.”
“I think I’d be frustrate and sad. It was definitely the hardest decision I’ve ever made, but it was the right one. I feel like I’ve really settled in here and I’m really happy.”
“Marco (Silva) has given me a lot of confidence, given me the freedom to enjoy myself and if I make a mistake I will just keep going.”
