Aston Villa interested in a loan move for Emile Smith Rowe

Emile Smith Rowe has been attracting attention from several Premier League clubs.

The Arsenal academy graduate has struggled to earn a regular spot in the squad since his imminent return from his long-term injury earlier this campaign.

He has managed only 230 minutes of action across all competitions as he recently endured another setback due to a knee injury.

Smith Rowe has been limited to only 22 games over the last two seasons and the injuries have definitely hampered his progress over the years.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is reportedly interested in signing the Arsenal outcast who is under contract until the summer of 2026.

Newcastle United and West Ham United are also pursuing a move for the England international and are yet to make an official bid for the 23-year-old.

The Gunners will reportedly demand in excess of £50 million for the talented midfielder who is considered surplus to Mikel Arteta’s requirements.

Alex Crook reported: “Arsenal might have to move a couple of players out to get players in. I’m keen to see what they do with Smith Rowe because I think Aston Villa’s interest is still there.

“We know that Arsenal like Douglas Luiz, but Villa aren’t going to let him go at this moment in time because they’re competing for the top four themselves.”
