Mikel Arteta dismisses transfer speculation as Emile Smith Rowe remains committed to Arsenal
Mikel Arteta insists Emile Smith Rowe is settled at Arsenal amid reported interest from West Ham.
Emile Smith Rowe is an English professional soccer player who plays for Premier League side Arsenal.
After being released from Chelsea's academy, Smith Rowe joined Arsenal's academy aged 10. And after eight years in the youth development programme, the midfielder made his debut for the Gunners.
Due to his exceptional performances, a call-up to Gareth Southgate's England squad was earned, making him the latest Hale End graduate to play for the Three Lions.
Smith Rowe signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in 2017, which was extended by another five years in 2018.
Under new head coach Unai Emery, the midfielder would make his professional debut for the Gunners, replacing Alex Iwobi in Arsenal's 4-2 Europa League win against Vorskla Poltava.
His performances in Europe would grant the youngster a place on the bench in the Premier League against the likes of Leicester, Crystal Palace, and Liverpool.
In the Bundesliga, the Englishman would sign for RB Leipzig until the end of the 2018/19 campaign. Despite his groin strain picked up in England, he would recover from his injury and play three times for The Red Bulls.
He appeared for the final minutes against Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich, as well playing the final 26 against Werder Bremen, the final game of the season.
He made his top flight debut in December 2019, coming on as a second half substitute in a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Then in the following week, he made his first professional start for the Gunners in the Premier League, playing 66 minutes against Everton.
His efforts on loan were once again noticed by the bosses at Arsenal, and new head coach Mikel Arteta would make him an integral part of his side for the 2020/21 season.
Due to the departure of Arsenal legend Mesut Ozil, Smith Rowe was handed the number 10 shirt as the Gunners entered a new era.
