During the final days of the summer transfer season, Arsenal sensation Emile Smith Rowe was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea. Despite his lack of playing time this season, the Gunners have refused to let the gifted playmaker depart the Emirates Stadium.
In fact, Smith Rowe has only made one appearance for Mikel Arteta’s side in all competitions, a 1-0 win over Brentford in the Carabao Cup last month. Newcastle United have been mentioned as a possible destination for the 23-year-old, with Eddie Howe’s side thought to be interested in a January deal.

“I had a conversation with him, and it’s important to understand where he is,” Arteta said of the gifted boy. “The first three or four weeks were always going to be challenging for all of the clubs.” You see all the rumors and unhappy players in every country because it’s one game every week for a month and everyone starts a fresh season with high hopes, but there aren’t enough minutes for everyone. September will be a whole different story.”
