Arsenal fan favourite Emile Smith Rowe is set to stay at Arsenal next season, having been told by Mikel Arteta that he is a part of his plans for the upcoming campaign.
The 22-year-old endured a tough season last time around appearing 14 times as a substitute in all competitions as Mikel Arteta‘s side missed out on the title to Manchester City – totalling up just 240 minutes.
This is a stark contrast to the season before where Smith Rowe racked up 37 appearances and 2176 minutes, becoming a staple in Arteta’s side and a fan favourite amongst the Emirates faithful. The youngster has a contract at the North London club until the summer of 2026 and has plenty of time to establish himself as a regular in this Arsenal team.
According to the Daily Mail, Arteta will give Smith Rowe a chance to prove himself next season as the Gunners look to go one step better in the Premier League.
The 22-year-old is now away with England’s Under 21s for this summer’s EUROS and the Gunners star will be hoping that this tournament can kickstart a positive 12 months for the youngster.
Good I’m glad he’s not going He should get a fair shake and regular games (not just cups)
