Fulham 'are close to agreeing a £30m deal for forgotten Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe' as Gunners look to cash in on academy graduate, with Marco Silva's side stealing a march on Crystal Palace

Fulham are edging towards completing a £30million deal for Arsenal playmaker Emile Smith Rowe as the Gunners prepare to let one of their academy products leave, according to reports.

The 23-year-old scored in Arsenal's pre-season victory over Leyton Orient and has travelled as part of a 28-man squad to the United States but now looks set to switch allegiances.

Fulham previously had a £30m bid rejected for Smith Rowe as Arsenal sought to recoup a higher fee on their investment but are now close to agreeing a deal, as reported by The Athletic.
