It seems that the transfer window is heating up as Crystal Palace and Fulham have both made bids for Arsenal's talented midfielder, Emile Smith Rowe. However, it seems that their offers have been rejected by the Gunners, who are willing to let Smith Rowe go for the right price. The 23-year-old has garnered a lot of interest from other Premier League clubs, but Arsenal has set their asking price and is standing firm.
Smith Rowe, who came up through Arsenal's academy, had an impressive season in 2021/22, scoring 10 goals and providing 2 assists in the Premier League. However, he has struggled to maintain consistency in the last two seasons due to various factors such as form, fitness, and tough competition for a spot in the team's midfield. As a result, Arsenal has decided to entertain offers for him and Crystal Palace and Fulham have already made bids, although they have been turned down.
It seems that Smith Rowe has come to terms with the fact that he may have to leave his beloved club in order to secure regular playing time. He is now considering his options, while Palace and Fulham are pondering whether to come back with improved offers. According to talkSPORT, Arsenal may be willing to let go of Smith Rowe if they receive an offer in the region of £25 million before the transfer deadline. The England international, who has already been capped three times under Gareth Southgate, is under contract with Arsenal until 2026.
In recent training sessions, Smith Rowe was seen working hard with his teammates, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future. Since making his debut for Arsenal in 2018, he has made 115 appearances for the club, but has not started a game since their 2-0 win over Luton in March. Manager Mikel Arteta has expressed his admiration for Smith Rowe's abilities, stating that he is a joy to watch on the pitch. He also praised his physicality and killer instinct, which makes him a difficult player to stop.
But it's not just Smith Rowe's future that is up in the air. Fellow youngster Eddie Nketiah's future has also been the subject of speculation this summer. Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams believes that both players should strongly consider a move in order to revive their careers. He also expressed his disappointment in Arteta's lack of rotation, as he feels that players like Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka should be given more playing time in order to develop. However, Adams also acknowledges that it may depend on whether Arsenal can bring in another striker.
As the transfer saga continues, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Smith Rowe and Nketiah. But one thing is for sure, Arsenal is standing firm on their asking price for the talented midfielder and will only let him go for the right offer. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
