Arsenal willing to sell midfielder for £30 million

This summer could be an important one for Arsenal, with several incomings and outgoings likely at The Emirates. 

The Gunners have come close to winning the Premier League title in each of the past two seasons, on both occasions being eventually overtaken by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Manager Mikel Arteta will want to see his side mount another title challenge next term, and the Spaniard is therefore likely to delve into the transfer market this summer.

It appears, though, that the North London club are also willing to sell one of their players.

According to Football Insider, Arsenal are willing to sell Emile Smith-Rowe this summer and will accept an offer of around £30 million for the player.

The Englishman is a product of the club’s youth academy but has struggled to ever establish himself as a regular in the first team at The Emirates.

Having made his debut for the club in 2018, Smith Rowe has now played 115 appearances for the Gunners across all competitions, scoring 18 times and registering 13 assists.

The attacking midfielder has spent time on loan at German side RB Leipzig, as well as Football League side Huddersfield Town.

Last term, he played just 19 times across all competitions during an injury-hampered campaign, starting only three Premier League games.

London rivals Fulham are said to have registered their interest in the three-time England international, who hasn’t played for the Three Lions since March 2022.

His current contract, signed three years ago, is set to expire in the summer of 2026.

Arsenal are looking to sell fringe players this summer in order to raise funds and ensure they meet the Premier League’s profit and sustainability requirements.
