The inside track on the football stories that matter
Emile Smith Rowe is set to inform Arsenal he wants to leave the club amid interest from Aston Villa, Fulham and Crystal Palace, sources have told Football Insider.
It is understood Smith Rowe is keen to depart the Emirates as he looks for a starting XI role elsewhere, having failed to break into Mikel Arteta’s first-choice line-up.
Aston Villa – who previously made an approach to Arsenal for the three-cap England man but were rebuffed – remain interested and possess the lure of Champions League football, while Fulham and Crystal Palace have make enquiries about a potential deal.With Smith Rowe’s career progressing, it looks increasingly unlikely the Hale End graduate will remain at Arsenal for the longer term.
The attacking midfielder has never been short of suitors and whilst it remains Arteta’s preference to continue with Smith Rowe in the squad, another year of keeping him around will see his market value significantly fall with his contract expiring in 2026. Arsenal are holding out for their price, which is understood to be bids in excess of £30m citing the player’s age profile, homegrown premium and previously demonstrated talent.
