The midfielder, who came through the academy ranks at the Emirates Stadium, moved across London from the Gunners this summer.

Having been an integral figure under Mikel Arteta during the latter's early years at the helm, injury and competition restricted Smith-Rowe's impact over the last two terms.

But Saha, a Premier League winner with Manchester United, thinks Fulham may have picked up one of the transfers of the off-season in the Englishman.

"I hope that Arsenal regret letting Emile Smith-Rowe leave because that would mean that he has been a great signing for Fulham," Saha told cryptocasinosuk.net.

"Fulham have wingers that want to attack, and Smith Rowe will complement the way that they can hurt opponents.

"You can tell when you watch Smith-Rowe that he was educated at Arsenal in terms of his speed of thought, the way he does things.

"He’s incisive and he makes Fulham play with more purpose and speed."

Among the pre-campaign favourites to be in a relegation battle with some pundits, Fulham have enjoyed an excellent start to the new campaign under Marco Silva.

They currently lie sixth in the Premier League, having picked up victories over Leicester City, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest.

They next face a trip to champions Manchester City, in their final match before the October international break.
