In a significant move, Fulham have reached an agreement in principle with Arsenal to sign attacking midfielder Emile Smith Rowe for a club-record fee of £34 million, including add-ons.
The deal, which is set to be the largest transfer in Fulham’s history, will see an initial payment of £27 million with a further £7 million in potential add-ons. Smith Rowe, who has been with Arsenal since the age of 10, is expected to undergo a medical this week before joining Fulham’s pre-season training camp in Portugal.
The 24-year-old, who has made 115 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 18 goals and providing 13 assists, has agreed personal terms with Fulham. The move represents a significant opportunity for Smith Rowe to secure regular playing time and continue his development.
“There are things happening in the background at the moment,” said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta when asked about Smith Rowe’s future after the club’s recent friendly against Bournemouth. The midfielder was an unused substitute in that match and was not included in the squad for Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United over the weekend.
Fulham’s quiet summer transfer window has been highlighted by the return of Ryan Sessegnon on a free transfer from Tottenham. However, the club has significant funds available following the sale of Portuguese midfielder João Palhinha to Bayern Munich for a reported £47 million.
The deal for Smith Rowe is expected to be finalized in the coming days, with both clubs eager to complete the transfer before the start of the Premier League season. The move represents a significant coup for Fulham as they aim to strengthen their squad and build upon their impressive performances in the previous campaign.
