A vintage Arsenal goal.

Smith Rowe has been the name on fans' lips ever since he was thrown into the starting XI for the 3-1 victory over Chelsea.

But it's not just supporters who're ecstatic with the playmaker's performances, as it seems his teammates are just as thrilled.

Smith Rowe uploaded a post to Instagram after Saturday's win over West Brom and Saka likened the 20-year-old to Manchester City's £108m-rated superstar, Kevin De Bruyne.

Saka's message to Smith Rowe

"Thank you Kev," Saka wrote on the social media platform, referencing City's midfield maestro.

There's a reason why Arsenal fans have started calling Smith Rowe the 'Croydon De Bruyne'...

Club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also left a comment on Smith Rowe's Instagram post, which you can see below.

Aubameyang's comment

It looks as if Smith Rowe is a rather popular figure in the Arsenal dressing room.

The Englishman's on-field mastery over the past week or so has played a pivotal role in rescuing the club's season and it looks as if he will be a mainstay in the Gunners' starting XI for the foreseeable future.
