West Ham is targeting a January transfer for Emile Smith Rowe as he struggles to break into the Arsenal first team following his return from injury.
Smith Rowe has been plagued by injuries since he broke into the Arsenal first team, and that has affected his momentum.
When it seems he is close to becoming a regular, he breaks down with a different problem, and Arsenal has been signing players to replace him at the club.
The Gunners have invested heavily in a few midfielders making it more difficult for Smith Rowe to get game time.
West Ham is looking to take advantage of that to sign the Englishman in this transfer window.
Talk Sport reveals they are exploring a move for the Arsenal man and could make an approach to sign him before this transfer window closes.
Smith Rowe might be interested in the transfer if there is no assurance that he will get more game time at the Emirates.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Injuries have cost Smith Rowe his place in our first team, and we expect clubs to show interest in his signature.
We have invested in some fine midfielders, and more will join in the coming transfer windows, so Smith Rowe probably should consider leaving the club.

A change of scenery could do the Croydon youngster a world of good
Being a professional footballer that Emilie Smith-Rowe is. I think he owes it a duty to himself to advance his football playing career forward to a new different career level. More especially If the level that he’s current at is looking to stagnante his career forging forward.
But relevantly, Arsenal FC itself has to forge forward moving to not remain in stagnation on a player who can’t help it to accelerate in its quest to be accelerating to reach the glorious destinations it wants to reach..
On an open note, if ESR proposed move to West Ham this window is a loan out move. But would Arsenal in turn carry out a similar loan move but loan in deal to bring in a replacement for the space in the team squad that ESR will leave open if he moved?
It’s the case for all Arsenal’s players now – Are you a player of title-winning-team quality or not? With the aspirations of the manager and expectations of the fans these days, probably 10 or 11 of the first-choice-starters absolutely have to be. With the track record demonstrated by players like Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, & Rice it’s a clear “Yes”. Jesus, Havertz, Zinchenko, & Jorginho have the silverware to prove it (Although maybe Jorginho is quite past it now). But ESR? also Nelson? And a few others. If the answer is “No” or “Probably not:” then it’s best for all parties if they move on. Provided they are replaced by better players, of course.
ESR is one of our most talented Academy players and it will be sad to lose him. Injuries have played a big part in his career so far but I feel Arteta has not played him as much as other players when he is fit. He is talented and versatile, can play in the midfield and across the front 3. I think Arsenal must rethink about selling him and should give him the rest of the season as an opportunity to prove himself, he can still add value to our team.
I agree gunnerforlife
Arsenal have stated he is staying in this window so I hope that ESR gets a a chance
That said, he has not been able to be fit long enough and the concern is that he will break down again. A difficult situation.
So before us speaking it into been SueP, the honorable thing would be to immediately loan him out and see what happens🙂
The coach is actually managing Smith Rowe’s injury, you cannot just make him start games while everyone knows he is a injury prone player which most fans don’t want to understand.
