AliousCrystal Palace and Fulham are likely to make renewed bids for Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe after initial offers were rejected, according to Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth.
Palace, having made few signings this summer, are looking to strengthen their squad following Michael Olise’s departure to Bayern Munich.
Sheth reports that both Palace and Fulham have shown strong interest in Smith Rowe, with both clubs expected to improve their offers.
The final decision on any transfer may rest with Smith Rowe himself, who is reportedly seeking more playing time.
Smith Rowe, an Arsenal academy product, has seen limited action recently, partly due to injuries.
He’s made 115 appearances for Arsenal since his 2018 debut, scoring 18 goals.
His current contract runs until 2026.
Reports suggest Arsenal might consider offers around £25 million for Smith Rowe.
In the 2023/24 season, he made 19 appearances across all competitions, providing two assists but no goals in 475 minutes of play.
Palace’s interest comes amidst potential departures of key players like Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi.
The club has so far signed defender Chadi Riad and midfielder Daichi Kamada this summer.
Would you like me to elaborate on any aspect of this potential transfer or discuss Crystal Palace’s transfer strategy further?
