According to The Sun, there are clubs interested in signing Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe – but it would take a huge offer to sign him.

It’s stated that ‘a few’ teams fancy signing Smith Rowe. With Arsenal needing to raise funds this summer, the Gunners may receive offers for their talented youngster.

However, the report notes that it would take a ‘big offer’ for Arsenal to sell him, meaning a summer exit from the Emirates Stadium seems somewhat unlikely.

Smith Rowe, 19, has come up through the Arsenal ranks having joined in 2010. He has been touted for a bright future, but has only made 12 first-team appearances.

After spending the first half of 2019 on loan at RB Leipzig, Smith Rowe has spent 2020 on loan at Huddersfield Town. With one goal and three assists in 10 games, he has made a great impact in the Championship.

The teenager has been hailed by Huddersfield boss Danny Cowley, and Arsenal fans will hope to see him continue to develop with the Gunners long-term rather than move on.

It’s unclear who wants Smith Rowe, but Leipzig would be a sensible suggestion. When they signed him on loan, Leipzig’s managing director Oliver Mintzlaff told Sport.de that he wanted to buy Smith Rowe, but Arsenal wouldn’t allow such a deal.

If Arsenal show any indication that Smith Rowe is available, Leipzig will surely return with another move – but the Gunners need to stick to their seemingly lofty price tag.
