Arsenal ‘reject’ offer from rival as Nicolas Pepe transfer update emerges

Arsenal are now preparing for a clash with Manchester United as they look to return to winning ways. The Gunners conceded late to draw with Fulham over the weekend, with Mikel Arteta’s men suffering their first setback of the season.

Preparations are now underway for the United clash, but plenty of concentration is being dedicated to transfers ahead of Friday’s deadline, with the Gunners needing to offload players while also potentially signing a defender. Here we round up all the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding the Emirates Stadium.

Smith Rowe offer 
Chelsea are said to have made an approach to sign Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe.

Following reports that Smith Rowe had been made available by the Gunners, albeit they would command a big fee for the attacker, it’s claimed Chelsea made a bid. But according to the Daily Mail, that offer has been rejected by Arsenal, who are not likely to sell to a direct rival.

Smith Rowe is likely to find opportunities hard to come by this season, but he could still get plenty of game time across the campaign, even if the majority of that game time is not likely to come in the way of starts.
