Fulham to Keep Chasing for Emile Smith Rowe<\/h2>\n

Fulham Bid Falls Short of Arsenal Expectations<\/h3>\n

Fabrizio Romano <\/span>stated that Arsenal have rejected<\/a> Fulham’s first bid for Smith Rowe. However, <\/span>the West London club will not be deterred<\/span> and are preparing to return with a new offer. The Gunners have set a <\/span>\u00a340 million<\/span> price tag on their player.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fulham recently sold defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich in a <\/span>record-breaking deal<\/span><\/a>. They are planning to spend a large chunk of that money on Smith Rowe, who<\/span>\u00a0was revealed<\/span> last month as the Cottagers’ priority transfer target.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, according to journalist <\/span>Nizaar Kinsella<\/span><\/a>, Arsenal will not force Smith Rowe out of the club as he is a popular figure in North London. They would do a deal only if it benefits all parties involved. The 23-year-old is desperate for playing time and is bound to get plenty at Fulham.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, is a big admirer of Smith Rowe and has always praised him. After last season’s win against Luton Town, he singled out the Hale End product’s ability to play with a <\/span>“killer instinct”<\/span><\/a>. He said: “I love him as a player<\/span>, he<\/span> is a joy to watch. He went into duels and won <\/span>a lot<\/span> of them and was thinking with that killer instinct to play forward and make things happen.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Clubs Interested in Smith Rowe<\/h3>\n

Crystal Palace <\/span>are another club who have<\/span> shown <\/span>serious interest<\/span><\/a> in Smith Rowe and <\/span>are<\/span> expected<\/span> to submit a bid.<\/span> But it remains to be seen if they would match Arsenal’s demands.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Eagles have already lost their star player <\/span>Michael<\/span> Olise <\/span>to<\/span> Bayern and they might lose another in Eberechi Eze, who has been linked with multiple clubs in this transfer window. Smith Rowe would be the perfect replacement if Eze <\/span>decides to move<\/span> away from Selhurst Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any funds Arsenal <\/span>receive<\/span> from Smith Rowe’s potential sale will be accounted for as pure profit and <\/span>will<\/span> help them stay within the limits of the Profit and Sustainability Rules. A transfer is very much a possibility if Arsenal’s valuation is met.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
