Emile Smith Rowe has no problem with the role Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta utilises him in.
Having lost his place in the middle on the three-pronged attacking midfield, Smith Rowe also admitted that the role was his preferred position.
However, the England U21 international also insisted that playing on the left helped good friend Kieran Tierney to shine, which he was happy to see.
“I see myself as a No 10, on the inside," he added. “But at the same time, because of the way we play at Arsenal, if I am on the wing then the manager is telling me to drift inside and be natural like a No 10 anyway.
“I'm happy to play anywhere, you know? I'm an Arsenal fan. I'll play wherever I'm needed and it's good to be versatile.
“It's a habit for me to come inside if I'm on the left wing.
“That's also good for KT (Tierney) because he can then get high and wide.
“We tried to get the ball down there as much as we could against Tottenham.
“Me and KT have such a good bond. We worked on it in training and were both buzzing after the game.
“KT is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet but at the same time, he's such a warrior. He's a player who's got everyone's back and always wants to win."
