Emile Smith Rowe’s future at Arsenal appears uncertain as the club reportedly grows weary of his injury-prone spell at the Emirates, potentially paving the way for a departure in January.
Despite being recognised as one of Arsenal’s standout academy graduates, Smith Rowe’s persistent fitness issues have become a concern for the club. Arsenal opted not to sell him during the summer transfer window, reflecting their commitment to his success.
However, the midfielder’s ongoing struggles with injuries have led to a reassessment of his future at the club. With Smith Rowe finding it challenging to maintain consistent playing time without succumbing to injuries in recent seasons, Arsenal has reportedly decided to entertain offers for his signature.
According to a report from Football Transfers, Arsenal is now open to selling Smith Rowe in January. The club will reportedly listen to offers, and if a suitable bid materialises, they are willing to part ways with the English midfielder.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Smith Rowe was supposed to be the heir to Mesut Ozil and still has the potential to be one, but his injury problems are too much and we have to get rid of him as soon as possible.
We have tried our best and given him more chances than we may have handed another player so he will understand why we are selling him.

It will be a pity of no small measure that saddens the football loving heart If Emnile Smith Rowe leaves his boyhood Arsenal top club side next January transfer window.
The injury plague that is undermining his fitness is looking won’t abate anytime soon. To allow the youngster return to action for Arsenal for a long spell without interrupting his fitness to keep him on the sidelines. An unpleasant prevailing situation which Arteta seems can no longer put up with. Hence, his reported ruthlessness to move on ESR in the upcoming January transfer window in the interest of Arsenal FC quest to win titles this season.
My view is and has always been that once a player, any player, no matter whom, has shown himself to be massively injury prone, then we MUST get him gone, ASAP.
Simply the REALITY of football life if one is SERIOUS ABOUT WINNING TITLES.
This is now ESR’s almost certain fate.
Same thing that is happening with Partey. As harsh as it may sound, it’s better to cut the losses and invest on players who can help the club during the long season.
They remind of Rosicky and Diary, both talented but unreliable in terms of staying fit.
But then there was van persie… I suppose there’s always an exception to the rule.
I guess we persisted for so long with diaby in the hope he’d eventually get past those problems, and he was good enough to have been worth the wait, like van persie
RVP jumped ship after being fit for about one season unfortunately
I’m with JF and OD that constantly having a player out of action makes it almost impossible for the manager to plan. Injuries do happen but when particular players are so frequently out of action due to fitness concerns then they are realistically no use nor ornament
Couldn’t say it any better . Not counting on players like partey, Smith, Tierney who seem to be on the treatment table more is quite detrimental.
👍
Well I don’t think we expected RVP to jump ship like that – I think we had the best of him for a couple of seasons before he left, and he was easily our best player during that time.
Anyway, I agree it’s not the best strategy, just saying I can see why we persisted with RVP and diaby in particular – *I’m not saying I think it was the right approach* (I’m a bit on the fence tbh), but they were so talented, I can see why it was presumably seen as a risk worth taking. They were/likely could have been in the top 2 or 3 of players in the league if fit, so those are very special cases.
I wasn’t being critical Davi. Both were amazing.
It’s a tough call for any manager to make. Partey is proven but sadly for ESR he has the potential but hasn’t been able to realise it so far.
Understand, was just trying to clarify my minor point (in case it was necessary, which it probably wasn’t). I don’t think ESR or the ageing partey (as brilliant as I think they both are) are diaby/RVP level talents that might warrant being kept on just in case they can overcome their injury issues.
That’s why when I read some fans associating Arsenal with moves for the likes of Pedro Neto and Caven-Lewis, I wonder what such people are thinking
