Fulham are closing in on a £35m deal to sign Arsenal's Emile Smith-Rowe... with Marco Silva's side having also agreed to re-sign free agent Ryan Sessegnon

Fulham have agreed to re-sign free agent Ryan Sessegnon and are advancing on a £35million deal for Arsenal's Emile Smith-Rowe.

It comes after the Gunners rejected an initial bid of £30m for the 23-year-old Arsenal academy graduate.

The attacking midfielder's contract at the Emirates is set to run out in 2026 and it is understood that Crystal Palace have also held an interest in signing him.

Smith-Rowe did not feature during Arsenal's 2-1 win against Bournemouth in California earlier on Thursday, with Mikel Arteta giving an update on his future.
