Fulham secures club record signing of Emile Smith-Rowe from Arsenal
Fulham has reached a landmark agreement with Arsenal to sign midfielder Emile Smith Rowe for an initial £27 million, with a potential additional £7 million in performance-based add-ons.
This transfer sets a new club record for Fulham, surpassing the previous record held by Jean Michael Seri’s £27 million signing in 2018.
The add-ons are reportedly tied to Fulham’s success in Cup and European competitions, demonstrating the club’s ambition and commitment to achieving excellence.
Smith Rowe, a 23-year-old Arsenal academy graduate, has been a popular figure among fans but has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal, with Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Bukayo Saka preferred ahead of him.
With three England caps to his name, Smith Rowe brings valuable experience and skill to Fulham’s midfield.
His signing marks a significant boost to the team’s prospects for the upcoming season.
In a parallel move, Arsenal has signed Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna for a fee of up to £42 million, further reshaping the landscape of the Premier League.
