Arsenal turn Chelsea away over Smith Rowe

Very soon after it was reported that Chelsea were interested in Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe, 'Daily Mail' have written that the Gunners have swiftly dispatched any idea of the move.

The outlet reports that Mikel Arteta's side have already turned the Blues away, after their London rivals made an initial approach for the 23-year-old.

The midfielder is apparently a non-negotiable at Emirates, despite the fact that he is yet to take to the pitch this season, as he looks to impress coming back from an injury-prone 2022-23 campaign.

The paper reports that although as it stands there is only a very slim chance that the deal happens, Mauricio Pochettino's side could be willing to include some players from their very large squad to try and sweeten the deal.
