Arsenal are now reportedly open to selling Emile Smith Rowe to Aston Villa, who remain interested in the 23-year-old.
The Gunners have not found much of a first-team role for Smith Rowe in recent times, and Villa are known to have tried making bids for the player in the past.
Villa have had a fine season and will no doubt want to keep on strengthening, with Smith Rowe looking like a realistic possibility for them, according to latest reports.
