Emile Smith Rowe: Fulham sign Arsenal midfielder for club record fee

Fulham have announced the club record signing of Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe for an initial £27m.

While the Cottagers have not disclosed the total fee for the 24-year-old, it is understood the deal could rise to £34m with add-ons.

Smith Rowe, who joined Arsenal as a 10-year-old, made his senior debut for the Gunners at the age of 18 and made 80 Premier League appearances for the club, scoring 12 times.

He has three England caps, although his last came in March 2022.

Smith Rowe’s signing comes after Ryan Sessegnon rejoined Fulham on a two-year deal when his contract expired at Tottenham.
