Premier League runners up Arsenal will not sell Emile Smith Rowe this summer.

The attacking midfielder had been linked with a move away from the Gunners after a sub-par season on a personal level.

Smith Rowe barely featured for the Gunners, despite having been fit for more than half of the campaign.

The no.10 was not a preferred starter for Mikel Arteta, with Fabio Vieira often the backup to first choice Martin Odegaard.

Per The Athletic, Arsenal still believe in Smith Rowe and think he can have an excellent season next term.

The 22-year-old will get more game time as he reaches his full fitness, and the club is involved in more important games due to being in the Champions League.
