England Under-21s boss Aidy Boothroyd is full of praise for Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe.
The 20-year-old has become a critical player for Mikel Arteta's team in recent months.
Smith Rowe has put in some fantastic performances in the middle of the park in the Premier League and Europa League.
Asked about his qualities, Boothroyd told reporters: "Honesty is the word that jumps out to me.
"We can talk about all the technical qualities that he's got, his willingness to work for the team. But he is so honest in what he does.
"He is desperate to please. You can see the little techniques in his game, particularly without the ball, people wouldn't really associate him without the ball, but his willingness to work, to get into position, to check his shoulders, to make sure he is doing what the coach wants him to do.
"I think probably the key thing for him, what I like so much about him, is his football brain.
"He is one of those players who sees things happening before they actually occur. Sees a pass, runs into a space where he thinks the ball is going to be. We are only seeing the start of him.
"If he can stay fit we have got a real player on our hands there.
"When I spoke to Keith Downing about him, who he was with with the U19s and through other teams in the pathway, all that comes out is what a good character he is, and that's very important for us as a group as well."
