big names set in their sights, Arsenal must raise some cash through player sales in order to toe the line of profit and sustainability rules. The Gunners have been looking at offloading a number of senior players for some time now, particularly fringe personnel.
Homegrown talents Eddie Nketiah and Emile Smith Rowe have been listed as potential outgoings this summer and the latter could be soon headed for the door. That’s according to the Evening Standard, who report that Arsenal have ‘agreed’ to sell Smith Rowe to Fulham for a fee of £35 million.
If met, the figure will be on par with Arsenal’s biggest ever sale. The report claims that talks between Arsenal and Fulham have reached an ‘advanced stage’ and the 23-year-old is due to leave Arteta’s pre-season camp in the US in order to undergo a medical and discuss ‘personal terms’.
Many fans had hoped that Smith Rowe would become a statement player in Arteta’s side but after making just 13 league appearances last summer, the midfielder is looking for a more regular role and Arsenal are looking to raise some cash.
