Arsenal duo have been linked with departures in recent months.
According to Dean Jones via GIVEMESPORT, Arsenal duo Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah might be offloaded at Emirates this year.
The duo has come through the academy at Emirates. Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah have given a big boost to Arsenal. Mikel Arteta will be looking to bring in reinforcements before the January transfer window shuts at the end of the month.
Both players are not regular under Mikel Arteta. They are the backup options at Emirates. The duo have been linked with departures in recent months.
Ben Jacobs previously spoke to GIVEMESPORT that Smith Rowe was left in a ‘demoralising’ position. Newcastle United were considering making an offer to sign him.
On the other hand, Arsenal have set a hefty asking price for Nketiah. Crystal Palace have also shown interest in the English forward. However, Jacobs has also said that Arsenal want to sell Nketiah in the January transfer window.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Jones said, “If these players are not having an impact at Arsenal and the club feel that there are players out there that could replace them and give them a better chance of success and making an impact over the next 18 months, then that has to be a serious consideration.
“Because in this moment, they do have an opportunity to retain a high standing in terms of status within European football and that can quickly fall away. They’ve waited ages to get back to somewhere like this. So I think they need to capitalise on it. Sell some fringe players, get what they can in, and upgrade.”
