Arsenal Ready to Accept £30m Bids for Emile Smith Rowe Amid Transfer Speculation
Arsenal are ready to accept bids in the region of £30m for Emile Smith Rowe this summer as Mikel Arteta is open to letting the 23-year-old talent leave the Emirates Stadium ahead of the 2024/25 campaign. The Englishman seemed to have a bright future at Arsenal when he first broke through during the 2021/22 season, but injuries and limited playing time have hindered his progression since then.
Smith Rowe, who only made 19 appearances for Arsenal this season with just four starts, has the option to remain at the club with a contract running until 2026. However, knowing that his opportunities might be limited, he could opt to find a new challenge to further his career.
Arsenal are reportedly ready to consider offers around £30m for the midfielder, with potential interest from London rivals Fulham. The West London club has identified Smith Rowe as a target for the upcoming transfer window, but as of now, no official bid has been made for the player.
With Arsenal needing to make moves in the transfer market, selling Smith Rowe for £30m could be a wise business decision. While Gunners fans may be disappointed to see him go, injuries have affected his time at the club, and a fresh start may be beneficial for the talented English midfielder.
It remains to be seen where Smith Rowe will end up ahead of the new season, but with Arsenal willing to listen to offers, his future could lie away from North London as he seeks more playing time to continue his development.
