The talented teenager attracted interest from Camp Nou when emerging through the Gunners' academy system, but he is happy to have stayed put
Emile Smith Rowe admits to having shunned interest from Barcelona in the past as Arsenal are “the right club” for him and his ongoing development.
The 18-year-old midfielder has made a senior breakthrough with the Gunners this season, opening his first-team goal account in the process.
He is the first player born in the 21st century to have netted for Arsenal and is considered to have a bright future, with a new long-term contract agreed over the summer.
