Alan Hutton strongly believes that Emile Smith Rowe would be an excellent addition for Newcastle United, especially as the Magpies are reportedly considering a move for the midfielder.
Smith Rowe has faced ongoing injury issues, which have hindered his ability to meet the expectations at Arsenal for several months. During his absence, Arsenal has strengthened its midfield options, making it challenging for Smith Rowe to secure regular starting opportunities.
Despite these challenges, Smith Rowe is still regarded as a quality player, and Newcastle is eager to include him in their exciting team. The Englishman is likely to embrace the opportunity to play for the Magpies, where he can expect an increase in game time.
According to Hutton, Smith Rowe has the potential to thrive in Newcastle’s setup.
The pundit tells Football Insider:
“I think he is a top talent, there is no getting away from that.
“He has showed it at Arsenal so it has really been a shame the injuries. He has had to fight to get back in and Arsenal have done really well without him.
“I think Newcastle, and if you look at the likes of players they have signed, they give young talented players an opportunity. Could he fit into that? Of course he could, I can see it happening.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Smith Rowe is undoubtedly one of our most promising academy products, and there’s a strong desire to see him featured more regularly in our team.
However, his injury history is a significant concern, and it has been challenging for him to establish himself as a consistent first-team regular.
The midfield additions we have made during his absence have been exceptional and are likely to continue to feature prominently ahead of him. Smith Rowe faces tough competition for a spot in the starting lineup, which makes it even more challenging for him to regain a regular role in the team.

We have seen how devastating Bellingham has been at Real Madrid, relegating all those that were sign before to the bench.
Arsenal has a player in the same mold rearing to go, his name is Smith Rowe, Oh how much Aston Villa and Brighton would have love to have this kid in their squad.
His connection may have made the wrong decision, once Havertz join they should have push for a move,
Unai Emery is known for breaking bread with kids but no telling of his value in the summer had he join Brighton.
ESR has been injury free since starring for England U21’s in the Euros.
Alan Hutton is not the only one who appreciates ESR is a “top talent”. Hopefully Arteta will soon arrive at the same conclusion, before ESR seeks opportunities elsewhere.
If he cannot break in the first team I do not think he will stay.
