According to reports, Mikel Arteta has a plan for Emile Smith Rowe ahead of next season, which I’m sure many Arsenal fans will like.
It’s been rumoured for a while now that this may be the end of the road for Emile Smith Rowe and his career at Arsenal. It was originally rumoured that Aston Villa were in for the midfield playmaker, with subsequent reports suggesting that David Moyes was looking to recruit him for his West Ham United squad. Either way, it was clear that there was outside interest in the Arsenal academy graduate.
Now, it seems that Arsenal fans will likely see Smith Rowe at The Emirates Stadium again next season. That’s according to The Athletic, who report that Arsenal have no intention of letting Emile Smith Rowe leave the club this summer with Mikel Arteta seeing him as an important part of his plans.

Smith Rowe has had an injury hit season that has reduced him to just 14 appearances for the club this season. And even when he’s been available, he’s seemingly been really low down on the pecking order. With reports linking Arsenal to Leicester City’s James Maddison, many assumed that would spell the end for Smith Rowe.
But David Ornstein has now taken to The Athletic and provided what is a major boost for fans of Smith Rowe. There’s undoubtedly a top quality player there in Smith Rowe. He has already shown Gunners fans what he can do when he was linking up beautifully with the likes of Bukayo Saka before his injury.
The 22-year-old was one of Arsenal’s best players during the 2021/22 campaign. Smith Rowe featured in 33 Premier League games, scoring 10 goals and recording 2 assists. Unfortunately he couldn’t replicate the same form in 2022/23, however Mikel Arteta has a plan to ensure the player is back to his best next season.
Arsenal fans will be hoping that they’ll see more of the same from Smith Rowe next season now that it seems that he’s be at Emirates for the foreseeable future.
