Mikel Arteta has not yet made his mind up on letting Emile Smith-Rowe leave Arsenal this summer, the Independent report.
Smith-Rowe is attracting the attentions of a range of clubs, with his future at Arsenal now uncertain.
The 20-year-old is considered to be one of Arsenal’s brightest prospects, but Arteta’s side are looking to raise funds, and the Independent suggest that Smith-Rowe’s future is yet to be decided upon.
Arteta seemingly wants to take a look at the prospect over pre-season before deciding his next move.
Arsenal could loan out Smith-Rowe to get him more experience, and a permanent move is also not ruled out.
If Smith-Rowe was offloaded it could be a disappointment for Arsenal supporters, who have suggested that the academy graduate has an extremely bright future at the Emirates Stadium.
Smith-Rowe has now had two impressive loan spells with RB Leipzig and Huddersfield Town, and seems to have the ability to be a star of the future.
Arteta said earlier this summer that he was excited to work with the playmaker to Sky Sports, but it seems that he could still leave the North London club this summer, such is the Gunners’ desire to make money.
