Arsenal fans are buzzing after Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Gunners have been working since March to tie Emile Smith Rowe down to a new five-year deal with the club.

The Sky Sports Italia journalist posted on Twitter that there is optimism around the north London club that the 20-year-old creative midfielder will pen a new deal with Arsenal and that Smith Rowe is happy and open to staying with his boyhood club.

Smith Rowe scored his second goal in as many games for Arsenal last night as the England youth international bagged the sole goal in the Gunners’ 1-0 win against Chelsea in the Premier League, with the youngster putting in a performance that only increased the Hale End academy graduate’s reputation in the English game.

And this update from Romano was well received from Arsenal supporters on social media, with fans eager for the playmaker to commit his future to the north London club.

Here’s what some supporters had to say on Twitter…

Smith Rowe could be the second Arsenal academy graduate to sign a new long-term deal with the club this season, with striker Folarin Balogun committing his future to the north Londoners last month.
