Arsenal whizkid Emile Smith Rowe will be part of Mikel Arteta's first-team squad for next season.

The attacking midfielder impressed at Huddersfield during the second-half of the 2019/20 campaign.

Football.london says Arsenal have informed the 20-year-old of their plans for him next season.

It was thought that the Englishman might be sent out on loan again for more first-team experience.

But Arteta wants to blood Smith Rowe into his first-team set-up.

And with the Gunners qualifying for the Europa League, Smith Rowe has plenty of opportunities to get excited about.
