AT LAST, EMILE SMITH ROWE REVEALS HIS REASONS FOR LEAVING ARSENAL, AS THE FORMER GUNNERS PLAYER FINALIZES A £35M MOVE TO FULHAM

Fulham have finalized the acquisition of Smith Rowe for a fee reportedly reaching £34 million ($44 million), with the English midfielder signing a five-year deal at Craven Cottage. The 24-year-old, who made 115 appearances for Arsenal, is enthusiastic about his move across London. Smith Rowe, who found himself lower in the pecking order under Mikel Arteta last season with only three Premier League starts, is eager to showcase his talent at Fulham and hopes to catch the eye of England's new manager. In a statement on Fulham's website, Smith Rowe expressed his happiness and excitement about joining the club, emphasizing that he felt it was the right move for his career after discussing the club’s plans with the manager and evaluating the current squad. Fulham will wrap up their pre-season with matches against Benfica, Sevilla, and Hoffenheim before kicking off their Premier League campaign on August 16 against Manchester United.
