Arsenal are considering selling Emile Smith Rowe this summer in order to capitalise on his homegrown status and improve their FFP standing.
According to Football Insider, Arsenal considered selling Emile Smith Rowe this summer in order to better their FFP situation.
The 23-year-old Arsenal homegrown talent will attract a respectable price in the market, prompting the club to consider selling the English midfielder. Aston Villa have expressed interest in signing Smith Rowe, and Arsenal may be persuaded to let him go.
Arsenal’s lack of activity during the January transfer window suggested that they were approaching the FFP limit. The Gunners did not make a deal during the winter window, despite rumors that they were looking for players in a variety of positions, most notably a striker.
Mikel Arteta has a lot of work to do in the summer transfer window, as the Gunners want to buy a striker, a midfielder, and a defender.
Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson, and Emile Smith Rowe are all homegrown players who the Gunners could consider moving. West Ham and Aston Villa had previously expressed interest in signing Smith Rowe.
Arteta decided to keep Smith Rowe and will most likely give the 23-year-old sensation another chance to establish himself. He has struggled with injuries for the previous two years, and if things do not change, the Gunners may part ways with him.
The fact that Smith Rowe is a homegrown player is a big area of contention as Arsenal considers selling. They would profit handsomely from any fees linked with his relocation. As a result, if they receive a substantial offer this summer, the Gunners may consider selling.
