Arsenal plan to accept Emile Smith Rowe offer – sources
Arsenal will accept big-money offers for Emile Smith Rowe in the upcoming summer window, sources have told Football Insider.
The 23-year-old has been widely linked with a potential move to London rivals Fulham in recent days.
Despite his lack of game time, Smith Rowe remains in the plans of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta – but they are keen to bolster their transfer budget by selling home-grown players.
The Gunners are planning further spending in the off-season and are likely to sell academy products to boost their war chest.
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that big offers for Smith Rowe will be considered as they look to enact their plans.
The three-cap England international made 19 appearances in the 2023-24 campaign but played just 474 minutes of action in those outings.

He started just four games, with the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard and more all above him in Arteta’s pecking order.
Smith Rowe, who West Ham and Aston Villa have previously targeted, is under contract at Arsenal until June 2026.
He scored 11 goals in 37 games in the 2021-22 campaign, his best in a Gunners shirt, but has since seen his first-team action limited.
Arsenal finished second in the Premier League and will play Champions League football in the 2024-25 campaign.
The club have announced the departure of first-teamers Cedric Soares and Mohamed Elneny at the end of their contracts later this month.
