Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Arsenal are close to sealing a five-year deal with Emile Smith Rowe.
The midfielder has been one of the standout performers for the club this season, taking his opportunity with both hands after being given his first start of the season against Chelsea on Boxing Day.
Noel Whelan recently claimed that a new deal for Emile would be ‘one of the biggest signings Arsenal need to make right now’ when talking to the Football Insider, and that now looks set to be completed.
Fabrizio Romano stated that the midfielder is close to signing off on a new five-year contract, whilst adding that Granit Xhaka, Willian and Matteo Guendouzi will leave the club.
The Swiss midfielder looks set to join Jose Mourinho at Roma, while Willian and Guendouzi’s next clubs appear less certain.
Smith Rowe’s new deal will come as a big boost to fans after our recent frustration at seeing Aston Villa clinch a deal for Emi Buendia ahead of us, which has left a lot of negative feeling early into the transfer window.
Bukayo Saka signed a new four-year deal last season, which will keep him tied to Arsenal until 2024 according to ESPN, and having those two to build the team around is a nice reality to have moving forwards.

Fantastic news!
That is a good tangible step indeed!
Wish some of the other news was more positive – of course it is hard to tell fact from fiction.
I hope we can add more to the outgoing list, Bellerin is still interested in moving, and if we buy a competent Rb maybe we should sell Cedric so Chambers could be back up, AMN need to go, Mavro needs to go, enough of loan , same as Nelson and Nketia, this guys don’t need to be told they won’t get game times, it’s not Coach fault that they are not good enough to handle requirements and pressure of a club of arsenal size, maybe a wolve, Newcastle, Burnley or Brighton
Talk matured. Chelsea and other clubs has many loaned out during the season.
Funny you mention them as only being good enough to sign for such teams as Wolves and Brighton when we are apparently hoping to sign players from both these teams🤔
marvellous, hope we gona buy neves
ESR do real deal…..tie him down,I swear if this guy can get 34 matches without injury in epl arsenal cant end least than fifth position with this shabby squad.And with ruthless squad we can fight for league….Check his work rate and u will testify that we have a genius in him

Yet another fantastic young player given his chance by our club.
Thanks again to those with the foresight and patience who have produced another gem.
This is the best Arsenal news may be for this window, to have ESR is like having KDB or J.Grealish. Fantastic news.
No european football next season, no new players yet for a serious team
