Newcastle chiefs are ready to spend £100m on Nketiah and other two UNHAPPY Arsenal stars who wants to leave at the end this season
Newcastle’s leadership is gearing up to splash £100 million on Eddie Nketiah and two other disgruntled Arsenal players eyeing an exit at the end of the current season.
Amidst swirling rumors, Emil Smith-Rowe’s potential departure from Arsenal is gaining traction, particularly with Newcastle United eyeing the midfielder for a potential move.
Despite Arsenal’s resurgence this season, Smith-Rowe has struggled to secure regular playing time, a stark contrast to his promising start under Mikel Arteta. Hindered by injuries, Smith-Rowe has only managed 16 appearances across various competitions, with his standout performance being an assist in a game against Sheffield United.
Sources close to Smith-Rowe indicate his dissatisfaction with his current role, sparking talks of a possible departure. Arsenal, facing financial constraints, sees offloading players as a necessary step to comply with financial regulations, making Smith-Rowe a potential candidate for sale, despite his contract running until 2026.
Arsenal is reportedly seeking £45 million for Smith-Rowe, catching Newcastle’s attention. A loan deal with an option to buy in the future is being considered, enticing both parties to negotiate.
Interest in Smith-Rowe isn’t limited to Newcastle, with West Ham United and Aston Villa also expressing interest in the midfielder, showcasing his appeal across the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta has addressed concerns about Smith-Rowe’s limited playing time, emphasizing the team’s collective nature and the need for tactical considerations. While the future remains uncertain for Smith-Rowe, Arsenal’s willingness to negotiate highlights the dynamic nature of modern football, where players like him are often at the center of transfer speculation, presenting new opportunities for growth and development.
