Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe has become the latest Gunner to be linked with a move away from the club.

Smith Rowe has been credited with being of interest to West Ham today, albeit reports seem to have been quickly shot down by multiple sources.

Of course, Arsenal are struggling to buy players this month and know a sale is the only way. Eddie Nketiah has already been linked with a move to Crystal Palace, and now Smith Rowe is getting a mention as well.

However, Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth has added to the reports that Smith Rowe won’t actually be going anywhere by speaking about the situation live on Sky tonight.

Sheth has said that unless ‘something miraculous’ happens, then there is no way Arsenal will be allowing Smith Rowe to leave right now.

Rated at around the £40m and previously of interest to Chelsea, the England international has struggled for games this season.

Arsenal need to get Smith Rowe ticking again

Given Arsenal’s struggles before the break and lack of goals, this feels like there’s a chance for Emile Smith Rowe to really put his stamp down on the team.

Of course, Mikel Arteta will need to give him that chance and that chance might never come.

But surely Arsenal, who cannot hit a barn door at the moment, give Smith Rowe another chance to show he can deliver.

Arteta has spoken about rotating players a lot, including his goalkeepers, and the time has now come for Smith Rowe to get back in the XI.

The Gunners squad is stretched enough so the idea he moves on loan to someone like West Ham is a hard one for Arsenal fans to comprehend.

Of course, should a big bid close to £40-50m come in, then Arsenal might consider it to boost their striker fund.

But right now, Smith Rowe is too good to lose and Arteta needs to get him back involved ASAP.
