Smith Rowe to Aston Villa? Arsenal must reject offers

English footballer playing for Arsenal, Emile Smith Rowe, has been the target of offers coming from Birmingham, specifically Aston Villa. The Gunners, however, are rejecting one offer after another.

The last amount that landed with the London club was £30 million and was quickly brushed off the table. This happened even after Aston Villa increased their offer from two weeks ago by 5 million.

Arsenal stand by the fact that the 20-year-old England midfielder is not for sale.

Smith Rowe has played a total of 20 games for the London outfit this season, in which he scored 6 points for 2 goals and 4 assists. He also managed to play 3 games for the Under-23 team and scored 3 goals.

If he does indeed move to Aston Villa, this would be his fourth stint as an adult.

Up until now, Smith Rowe has been at Leipzig, but only played 3 games there, and Huddersfield, where he has already played a decent 19 games in the 2019/2020 campaign.

The money for his possible transfer could be taken by the Birmingham team from the sale of Jack Grealish, who is reportedly going to Manchester City for £100m.

However, all indications are that Smith Rowe will stay at Arsenal.

However, speculation is rife that the Aston Villa offer is merely a move by the young Englishman’s agent for an improved contract at the Gunners, which is in the pipeline.
