Smith Rowe’s Arsenal stint

Emile Smith Rowe was one of the few bright sparks for Arsenal in a less than impressive 2020/21 campaign.

The 20-year-old finally began to earn regular minutes for Arsenal’s first-team at the back end of 2020, and has since firmly cemented himself as a crucial cog in Mikel Arteta’s midfield.

The England youth international offers some much-needed creativity to the Gunners, and has provided seven assists and seven goals in 37 outings across all competitions during the seaosn.

Aston Villa eyeing Smith Rowe

Such fine form, despite it only coming during half a season, has seemingly attracted interest from another Premier League side.

This bid was also rejected, with Arsenal fans perhaps then expecting Villa to end their interest in Smith Rowe.

However, the Mirror are reporting that Aston Villa are not giving up their pursuit of Smith Rowe despite having a second bid rejected, with Dean Smith’s side still believing they have a chance of signing the youngster and will return with another bid.
