Emery received a wonderful support as he prepares to attack his old team in search of the 23-year-old star
Emile Smith Rowe is someone Unai Emery’s Aston Villa is eager to have in their ranks and has been keeping an eye on for some time.
Arsenal is prepared to sell their academy graduate, which has given them a significant advantage in their pursuit of the 23-year-old, according to a report by Football Transfers.
Smith Rowe has been at Arsenal since his childhood days. He came up the ranks at some pace and made it to their first team in the summer of 2020.
He had an exceptional start to his first-team career and became a fan favourite.
But, over the years he has fallen down the pecking order and injuries have hampered his progress.
He is no longer a preferred choice and has only managed 231 minutes of footballing action this season.
Mikel Arteta has already held talks with the player over his role at the club and the fact that he is no longer the preferred choice.
Meanwhile, the Gunners would have offloaded him in the summer had they managed to sign Ilkay Gundogan.
The North London club is now prepared to let him depart in the winter if the right offer comes in, even if they have to keep him on to make sure they have enough depth.
Villa, who have been keeping an eye on the 23-year-old, will benefit greatly from this.
The England youth international is highly regarded by Unai Emery, who believes he would be a fantastic addition to his squad.
Having managed Arsenal, he got a close-up look at him and is eager to have him at Villa.
