Arsenal star could leave club in near future

Arsenal continued their unbeaten start to the new season with a convincing 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday. 

Mikel Arteta’s side cruised to victory over the Cherries courtesy of goals from Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Ben White.

The result leaves the Gunners third in the Premier League table, just a point behind reigning champions and current leaders Manchester City.

Next up for Arsenal is a game against French side Lens in the second round of Champions League group stage matches, with the London side having beaten Dutch club PSV Eindhoven 4-0 in the first round of fixtures.

Despite their strong start to the new campaign, it appears that one of Arteta’s players is unhappy at the club.

As per Football Insider, midfielder Emile Smith Rowe faces an uncertain future at The Emirates and could look to leave the club in the near future.

The 23-year-old is a product of Arsenal’s youth academy and has made more than 100 appearances for the club across all competitions.

Smith Rowe has struggled for opportunities at Arsenal in recent months

He has featured fairly regularly over the past few seasons, but has fallen out of favour in recent months and the report claims that the player could look to leave Arsenal if his situation doesn’t change.

The report claims that both parties could agree that a move elsewhere might be best if Arsenal make new signings during the upcoming transfer windows.

During his time in the first team at Arsenal, Smith-Rowe has scored 18 goals and provided 11 assists across all competitions.

Smith Rowe, who has previously spent time on loan at both RB Leipzig and Huddersfield Town, has also been capped three times by England at senior level but hasn’t featured for Gareth Southgate’s side since March last year.

At present, the player is contracted to the Gunners until the summer of 2026.

This season, though, he has played just nine minutes of Premier League football and therefore faces an extremely uncertain future.
