Arsenal attacking-midfielder Emile Smith Rowe is reportedly the priority signing at Fulham this summer, and the Cottagers are ready to bid for him early on in the summer window.
Smith Rowe has been unfortunate with injuries of late, slowing what initially looked like a rapid rise to the top. Indeed, in the last two Premier League campaigns, he s managed a combined total of just 25 games. In terms of minutes, he played just over 500 in those two seasons.
