Arsenal Eyeing Premier League Ace as Emile Smith Rowe Faces Uncertain Future
Arsenal is setting its sights on Leicester City’s talented midfielder, James Maddison, while potentially parting ways with their promising young star, Emile Smith Rowe.
As reported by The Mirror , Maddison has emerged as a top target for Mikel Arteta’s side as they look to bolster their midfield options ahead of the upcoming season. With Granit Xhaka likely to join Bayer Leverkusen and Thomas Partey attracting interest from other clubs, Arsenal is actively seeking reinforcements in the middle of the park.
Leicester City’s recent struggles, which saw them flirt with the possibility of relegation, have increased the likelihood of Maddison’s departure. Arsenal, keen to take advantage of the situation, could potentially secure the services of the talented playmaker at a reasonable price.
It is worth noting that Arsenal’s interest in Maddison is not a recent development. Back in 2021, the Gunners were heavily linked with the midfielder, only to opt for the signing of Martin Odegaard. However, it seems that Arteta is now considering the possibility of having both Odegaard and Maddison as key figures in his midfield setup going forward.
The potential arrival of Maddison would undoubtedly add creativity, goalscoring threat, and technical proficiency to Arsenal’s midfield ranks. Known for his ability to dictate play and contribute with goals and assists, the Leicester City star would provide a significant boost to Arteta’s squad.
However, as Arsenal pursues their ambitions in the transfer market, the future of Emile Smith Rowe hangs in the balance. The young English talent has shown immense potential and has already impressed during his breakthrough season at the Emirates. Yet, with the club actively pursuing Maddison, it remains to be seen whether Smith Rowe will be sacrificed to make way for the Leicester City maestro.
