Newcastle United’s willingness to invest £100 million in acquiring Eddie Nketiah and two other discontented Arsenal players who are seeking an exit by the end of the season has stirred discussions within football circles.
One of the focal points of these discussions revolves around Arsenal’s potential decision to part ways with Emil Smith-Rowe. Recent reports from TEAMtalk have shed light on the midfielder’s desire for more playing time, prompting speculation about his future at the club. With Newcastle United signaling their interest in securing Smith-Rowe’s services, Arsenal appears open to considering offers for the talented young player.
Despite Arsenal’s notable resurgence this season, Smith-Rowe has found himself marginalized within the squad, a stark departure from his earlier breakthrough under the management of Mikel Arteta. Once lauded as a promising talent emerging from the club’s prestigious youth academy, Smith-Rowe’s development has been hindered by a series of injuries, restricting his on-field contributions to a mere 16 appearances across all competitions. Among these appearances, his lone assist in a commanding victory over Sheffield United stands out as a bright spot amidst his limited game time.
