Just what is going with Emile Smith Rowe and Arsenal? It’s a question many fans have been asking themselves during the past couple of months, with the club’s No.10 having found himself somewhat out in the cold under Mikel Arteta.
Smith Rowe was Arsenal’s second top scorer last season, finding the net 11 times in all competitions. Only Bukayo Saka (12) scored more and the winger bolstered his tally with two penalties during the closing weeks of the campaign.
Smith Rowe who, along with Saka, had come into the team a year earlier and helped turn around a season that was in danger of complete collapse, looked well set to go on and cement his place in Arteta’s new-look Arsenal this season.
But now he is approaching the summer with growing questions around just where his future could lie.
