Emile Smith Rowe of Arsenal is apparently a target for Aston Villa, and the Gunners are reportedly willing to let go of the midfield player for the appropriate price.
Emile Smith Rowe, an Arsenal midfielder, is apparently of interest to Aston Villa. Smith Rowe was attempted to be signed by Villa for £30 million in 2021, and Unai Emery, the former manager of the Gunners, is also reportedly interested in the player.
The Gunners subsequently signed Smith Rowe to a long-term contract through 2026 and gave him the number 10 shirt after turning down a proposal from the Midlanders. Smith Rowe made his debut in 2018 under Emery’s tutelage at Arsenal, and it is rumored that the manager is interested in signing him.
Rumors over Smith Rowe’s future at Arsenal have begun to surface, despite the fact that he has only started two league games this season owing to injury. Villa is reportedly monitoring the situation.
The 23-year-old has only made a few appearances for Arsenal this season and has only started two league games, according to The Yorkshire Post. The midfield player’s decline in the Emirates Stadium pecking order has fuelled speculation regarding his future, and Villa is reportedly one of the teams monitoring the situation.
Although the Gunners are reportedly not eager to sell him, he might be considered a dispensable player if the appropriate offer were to come in and help them use the money made to develop for the future.
In December, following his long injury layoff, Mikel Arteta made the following statement regarding Smith Rowe: “What he has gone through is part of the experience that ninety-five percent of football players have to go through.” That includes challenges, ailments, failures, and other performance types. Now that he’s back, he can use that to his advantage and improve as a player tremendously.
