Arsenal youngster Emile Smith Rowe is seemingly set for a role in the Gunners first team this season after manager Unai Emery is said to have 'personally vetoed' plans to send the promising home grown teenager out on loan like fellow talent Reiss Nelson.
While Nelson will spend the rest of 2018/19 with Hoffenheim in Germany, the Daily Mail has reported that Smith Rowe will be staying in north London because Emery has made it clear to club officials that he want the 18-year-old available to him.
Other youngsters could yet leave Arsenal on loan before the end of the day and Smith Rowe himself was linked with a handful of potential exits to Championship and European clubs.
