A few days ago, reports began circulating indicating that Chelsea had expressed interest in acquiring Emile Smith Rowe for their squad, as they continue to enhance it with top-tier talents.
The young midfielder has encountered challenges securing playing time at the Emirates Stadium, primarily due to Arsenal’s recruitment of prominent midfielders during this transfer window.
Under Mikel Arteta’s management, the team has fortified an already formidable squad, acknowledging the presence of exceptional players within their ranks. However, they also recognise the significance of squad depth.
In light of these considerations, Arsenal declined Chelsea’s pursuit of Smith Rowe. The historical rivalry between the two clubs might have contributed to the decision to reject Chelsea’s advances.
An article in The Sun asserts that Arsenal has proposed Smith Rowe’s availability to unspecified competitors.
Arsenal aims to generate funds through the sale of certain players in this transfer window, and among them, Smith Rowe is one of the names being considered for a potential transfer.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Smith Rowe is struggling to get a chance to play for us in the last few months as he struggled with injury last season.
We can understand why he is being courted by clubs outside, but he is one of our own and it is essential that he remains with us beyond this term.

This one genuinely would annoy me. ESR is one of the players who gives us “depth” and he is absolutely capable of becoming a starting player in the near future. He’s also proven he’s capable of scoring plenty of goals, on a similar level to Saka, martinelli and odegaard. Not the sort of player I’d be using to raise funds.
How disgusting, how can we let such talent go to a rival.
Perhaps you have not noticed that WE HAVENT!
Do you believe every silly rumour and if so, then why?
I don’t. But why doesn’t MA play him? 😒
I’ve hardly commented on this blog recently but I have to say this will be absolutely preposterous if it happens.
Havertz is
Smith Rowe out
🤝
I believe Emile Smith-Rowe has been treated abominably by Arsenal. We seem to forget the number of excellent goals he was scoring when he was a regular starter. All he has ever wanted to do was to play for Arsenal, but it seems that Arteta would rather introduce a ball-boy than Smith-Rowe. We have apparently quite rightly rebuffed Chelsea’s advances, but it now appears that we could sell him to Brighton. And don’t get me started on the Balogun issue. If Arteta really does consider Nketiah to be an ace goalscorer (which he isn’t!), Ireally do hope that when we sell Balogun we include a buyback clause as has been rumoured.
Biscuitbum.
Great name !
instead of selling smith rowe to chelsea, arsenal should use him to do a swap deal to get a better striker may be victor osimen of napoli i know the club value the nigerian international at £150m arsenal should offer napoli smith rowe with £80m i think that will be a good deal.
A story published by The Sun
Does that need to be explained?
The Sun would never spread disinformation. Surely not!
I wonder why Arteta and Edu will spent 65million on Haverts when we have ESR. I still don’t understand the decision to sell Folarin whereas keeping Nketiah. I really don’t understand Partey playing as a right back. I don’t understand sending Tierney on loan when we have high competitions of which we must be optimal in our performance.
Well maybe that’s why I am not a coach at Arteta’s level. I just hope he knows what he is doing.
From a pained fan.
Lots of rumours persist but I don’t think this is. true or that we would sell him, but IF we did, I’d be absolutely livid.
An article in The Sun…must be true then !!
Arteta, please, please, please let ESR go.
He deserves a chance at first team football.
Let him go to Villa or Newcastle (NOT CHELSEA).
If the price is good, sell. No sentiments about these things. The guy is not playing and the team seems ok without him playing.
This is how we dallied with Maitland-Niles and ended up regretting
Guys, aint no way its gonna happen in a Champions League year! There are too much matches coming up and everyone will get their playing time and will be satisfied. Our fringe players in the semi-elite bracket aren’t getting sold.
My feelings: our fringe players will want to prove a point to the boss by winning a cup game on their own. These cup games might well be the only chance of silverware for us and these fringe players will do their damndest to win it.
Where I foresee disaffection arising in our squad which could give a huge headache to MA and the club, is when we do reach a cup final and the fringe players who did all the works, get benched for the regulars…this situation, win or not will create problems in our ranks for sure and provoke a revolt.
But until then, I am here for the sweet ride.
Skipping the ManUtd game by the way, if MA insists on being mad. The way we play recently, we are due for a major reset-triggering walloping!
Somehow, despite having had minimal success lately against Man Utd, they still appear to have the mental edge over us.
THUS, this game could already be lost. How?
1. Stick to this crazy set up, we lose (and give pacy Rashford fuel for the season when he is better off mired in the doldrums)
2. We change set up and go back to basics, we lose, cos it immediately sends a signal to the ManUtd squad that we fear them still and enough to change up. So they get that added mental advantage to run us ragged and beat us in our home and in front of our fans.
Summary: Write off, skipping it.
Sorry for the rants guys
Most of the media are 99% rumours or just looking for clickbates. As we knew we are in CPL league after so long. We need quality depth just like Man City. So theres no way we will sell EMR especially hes our great arsenal player who can really make a difference. We need deoth so quality players will not be sold its that simple
