Newcastle United have made contact with Arsenal over a potential loan deal for Emile Smith Rowe. But Arsenal are not willing to let the 23-year-old leave this summer.
That is according to a report from 90min. They claim that Aston Villa have also asked about a potential deal for the youngster like they did in 2021.
Smith Rowe appears to be one Arsenal player to keep an eye. This is ofcourse in the final days of the summer transfer window. Surprisingly, the attacking midfielder has not played a minute of Premier League football this season.
Emile Smith Rowe could be tempted by the increase in game time
The report suggests that both Newcastle and Aston Villa have also made enquiries. This is about a potential loan deal for Smith Rowe. However, Arsenal are adamant that he will be going nowhere this summer.
Last year proved to be a frustrating one for the England youngster. Injuries came at the worst time possible. And upon his return, he struggled to regain a spot in the team.
Arsenal have since signed Havertz. Meanwhile, Arteta also has the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and Fabio Vieira. They can all operate in a similar area on the pitch.
The early signs look ominous with Smith Rowe not playing a minute so far this season. And you would think that a move to Newcastle may be tempting. This is by considering that they can also offer Champions League football.
He is a ‘special‘ talent so he could be an inspired signing for Newcastle United. But clearly, the Magpies have got work to do. That is if they still hope to bring him to St James’ Park before the deadline. He is certainly a player who is Arsenal through and through and will want to fight for his place at Arsenal.
