Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe has the same "superstition" as Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish, with the youngster rolling his socks down.

The Englishman has excelled since the turn of a year as a playmaker in Mikel Arteta's side, which could be down to a quirk he shares with Grealish.

He told Arsenal's official YouTube channel: "I try to be free in my mind. There's one thing I do, wearing my socks really low, I feel like that gives me freedom. I don't know why, it's just a little superstition.

"We've all just been clicking together, I feel like we've come together so much stronger and we're really moving forward as a team. It's not just the players who start, it's the players that come on, doing a job for the team, and if we keep doing this, keep believing, we'll go and carry on winning games.

"This season, I'm getting a run of games. I need to keep working hard, keep training hard and listening to the manager. For me, it's just about progression. The main thing is winning for the team but for me, I just want to keep making the manager happy."
