PL clubs learn Arsenal's asking price for Emile Smith Rowe transfer amid exit links - Reports
Arsenal have reportedly set an asking price for their midfielder Emil Smith Rowe. The midfielder has slipped down the pecking order at the Emirates and is apparently nearing an exit.
Smith Rowe, 23, has 18 goals and 13 assists in 115 games across competitions. That includes two assists in 19 games across competitions, but the Englishman started just four times. Both assists came in 13 outings in the Premier League, where the Gunners finished second, behind Manchester City, for the second straight season.
Despite Smith Rowe contracted with the Emirates till 2026, GOAL (via The Sun) has reported that the Gunners have put him on the transfer list amidst interest from other Premier League clubs.
Fulham and Crystal Palace have been named as the clubs who are interested in Smith Rowe. However, the Gunners won't let him leave for less than £25 million. The Arsenal youth academy product has struggled for game time under Mikel Arteta, especially in the Premier League, making only 25 combined appearances.
Palace are looking for a replacement for Michael Olise, who has been widely linked with a move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, with Manchester United and Chelsea also interested.
