Arsenal have reportedly rejected initial offers from Fulham and Crystal Palace for midfielder Emile Smith Rowe, believing the fee was below the asking price.
Ufabet Sport reports that Smith Rowe is keen to assess his options this summer after falling out of favour under head coach Mikel Arteta, with his main focus now being first-team football.
The 23-year-old is contracted to the Emirates Stadium until June 2026 but has admitted that it will be difficult to win over Arteta given the current squad and the opportunity to add to his squad this summer.
That has led to two London rivals ready to offer a chance to Fulham with Bobby de Codova-Reid out of contract and talks to bring Willian back to Craven Cottage stalling, so they need to look at new faces.
Palace, of course, have lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich ยูฟ่าเบท, which has seen their attacking efficiency drop, and are looking for a suitable successor.
However, with the asking price set by the Gunners at no less than 30 million pounds. It is likely to be higher than the offers made by the two teams. So it will take some time to negotiate and try to offer a new price that is satisfactory to all parties.
Last season, the English star played only 12 matches in all competitions, making 2 assists . The reason for the shorter matches was because he was facing a knee injury.
