Fulham Sign Emile Smith Rowe From Arsenal
Fulham FC has confirmed the signing of Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal for an undisclosed fee.
The England international has penned a five-year contract, keeping him at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2029, with a Club option to extend by a further 12 months.
A versatile attacking player, he primarily operated off the left wing or as a number 10 for the Gunners but is also comfortable on the right, or in a slightly deeper midfield role.
A Friday statement on the club’s website disclosed this.
Speaking to FFCtv after putting pen to paper, Smith Rowe said, “I’m finally here, so I’m really happy for me and my family – it’s a good moment.
“I’m really excited, I just wanted to get here as quickly as possible so I could get going with my teammates.
“Listening to the project, speaking to the Manager, and seeing what players we have here already, I think it’s an exciting project for me, and definitely the perfect step for my career going forward.”
Tony Khan added, “I’m thrilled to announce the arrival of Emile Smith Rowe to Fulham Football Club!
“We’re very excited to sign such a talented young player, and we look forward to Emile joining the squad in Portugal as we continue to prepare for the new season ahead! Come on Fulham!”
A lifelong Londoner, Smith Rowe – who turned 24 last Sunday – was born just 10 miles away from the Cottage, in Croydon, joining the Arsenal academy a decade later, the statement noted.
