Emile Smith Rowe hasn’t featured much for Arsenal due to an injury, and he’s no longer among the starters. He only started one game in the Premier League this season, and many believe he will leave in January. However, Mikel Arteta complimented him and said he might earn more playing time. Some fans believe Smith Rowe should persevere and stay with Arsenal rather than give up.
Thierry Henry on Emile Smith Rowe
Emile Smith Rowe is no longer a starter at Arsenal. Many fans think he will leave in the winter transfer window.
Arsenal and West Ham are talking about Emile Smith Rowe possibly joining West Ham on loan this month. Even though Smith Rowe hasn’t played much this season, it’s still a big deal if he leaves, even on loan. Arsenal wants to keep him for the rest of the season, even though he hasn’t played a lot in the Premier League, with just one start so far.
Few years back Arsenal legend Thierry Henry claimed he related to Smith Rowe. Fans now think Smith Rowe should not leave and try his best to succeed at Arsenal.
“And I hope the people of the club know who they’re playing for and where I can relate and identify myself with this team is with Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe because I can see on their forehead that it is written Arsenal Football Club. I can see how they talk, see how they run, see how they battle even when they miss something they score, they don’t score, I can see it is written Arsenal. Football. Club,” Henry said.

One last push, Emile? Not sure it will happen, but if I could pick one player I wanted to succeed at Arsenal, it would be Emile. One of our own 🫶
Important months ahead.https://t.co/pVXnc9VTI0

Since Smith Rowe hasn’t been playing as much in the last two seasons, going on loan for six months could be helpful for him, especially if he gets to play regularly in the Premier League.
