In 2023-2024 season Emile Smith Rowe played three matches for Arsenal. So, a transfer move away from Arsenal is the suitable option for him.
Emile Smith Rowe’s decision
Despite being linked with teams like West Ham, Fulham, Emile Smith Rowe has changed his mind. His actions are making it clear that he will not be leaving Arsenal. He wants to stay and fight for his place at the North London club.
According to Express the young English midfielder has started his pre-season training before the entire Arsenal squad. For the pre-season training Mikel Arteta has taken players like Jurien Timber, Ben White, Fabio Viera to Mallorca. But Smith Rowe joined the pre-season camp one week before them. This action clarifies the intention of the young midfielder. He wants to train as much as possible to be in his best possible shape.
Mikel Arteta’s thought on the player
Last season when Emile Smith Rowe featured in a victory over Luton Town, Mikel said, ‘I love him as a player, he is a joy to watch. How he moves, changes direction and how physical he was today without the ball. He went into duels and won a lot of them. He was thinking with that killer instinct to play forward and make things happen. When Emile is in that moment, it’s very difficult to stop him. Today he helped us a lot to win the game.‘

Recently Arsenal have signed a lot players for the midfield position and they are performing well. For these reasons the homegrown talents are falling down in the pecking order.
Once the English midfielder used to be the main man for Mikel’s Arsenal. He featured in big games for the gunners. He helped them to win the FA cup. Now he struggles to get playing time under Mikel Arteta. The spaniard is well aware of the talent he posses. Any team will never want to loose a homegrown talent like Smith Rowe.
