Undeterred Aston Villa 'considering SECOND bid for Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe' despite seeing initial £25m offer turned down with Gunners keen to tie playmaker down with new contract

Aston Villa are reportedly set to offer a second bid in their ambitious move for Arsenal playmaker Emile Smith Rowe.

Sportsmail reported earlier this month that Villa had seen a £25million bid rejected for the 20-year-old, with Arsenal adamant he is not for sale at any price and want to tie him down to a new deal as he enters the final two years of his contract.

But the Midland outfit seem to be undeterred in their approach and are set to go in for an ambitious second bid as they look to bolster their attacking options, according to the Express and Star.
