Newcastle’s board is reportedly gearing up to make a substantial investment of £100 million in acquiring Eddie Nketiah and two other discontented Arsenal players who are eyeing exits by the end of the current season.
One of the prominent names linked with a potential departure from Arsenal is Emil Smith-Rowe, whose desire for increased playing time has been a subject of recent discussions. According to reports from TEAMtalk, the talented midfielder is eager to secure more minutes on the pitch, prompting speculation about his future at the club.
With Newcastle United showing keen interest in securing his services, Arsenal seems open to entertaining offers for the promising young talent.
Despite Arsenal’s notable resurgence in form this season, Smith-Rowe has found himself struggling to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup.
This situation marks a stark contrast to his initial breakthrough under the stewardship of manager Mikel Arteta.
Once lauded as a rising star from the esteemed Arsenal youth academy, Smith-Rowe’s progress has been hindered by a series of injuries, limiting his on-field contributions to a mere 16 appearances across all competitions. Notably, his lone assist in a commanding victory over Sheffield United stands out as a bright spot amid his sporadic game time.
