Aston Villa are eyeing a late market move for Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe.

The Times says Arsenal have offered Smith Rowe to an unnamed Premier League club.

And it's suggested Villa are the club in question, where former Arsenal manager Unai Emery is in charge.

Emery worked with Smith Rowe at Arsenal and knows he has struggled for minutes under current manager Mikel Arteta.

Villa had an offer of £30m for Smith Rowe rejected two years ago, but Arsenal are now more receptive ahead of tomorrow's transfer deadline.
