Fans Think They've Spotted A Massive Error In Emile Smith Rowe's New Tattoo

Fans are convinced Emile Smith Rowe's new tattoo includes a massive error and it's gone viral.

The Arsenal midfielder is enjoying a fine season, having scored nine goals in the Premier League while also making his England debut in November.

He's a fan favourite at the Emirates Stadium and on the whole, can't do much wrong. His new ink is being called a misstep though.

In an image posted to social media, Smith Rowe now sports a clock with a lion underneath on his upper arm.

The 21-year-old opted to include number 13 in Roman numerals on the clock face despite them only going up to 12.

Number 13 may have some significance for Smith Rowe, but many think it's a poor design choice regardless.

One commented: "He might need to get the laser out for this one."

Another put: "This ain't it man..."

A third said: "On his body forever, damn."

While someone tweeted: "A clock that would make Molly Mae proud."

Some attempted to call out the tattoo including IIII for four in Roman numerals, claiming it should be IV.

Watches regularly use the IIII method however and can be considered correct.

Arsenal are currently fifth in the Premier League having seen their top four charge falter in recent weeks.

Back to back defeats to Crystal Palace and Brighton allowed bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur to overtake them in the table.

Manager Mikel Arteta knows every game is vital from this point and is facing an injury crisis at a key moment.

Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey are likely out for the rest of the campaign, Alexandre Lacazette is a fitness doubt for Saturday's clash with Southampton.

Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang joined Barcelona in January and it means Eddie Nketiah, who hasn't scored in the league all year, is Arsenal's only orthodox striker.

Arteta was asked about using Smith Rowe as a striker and it's a role he thinks he can fulfil for the Gunners.

He explained in his pre-match press conference: "He’s not been completely fit to be training and playing every game, but it’s a possibility.

"It’s a position that I think he can fulfil in the future, but he needs training, and he needs experience in."

Arsenal do still have a game in hand on Tottenham and the two sides will meet in the north London derby next month.
