DONE DEAL: Huddersfield boss Cowley welcomes Arsenal midfielder Smith Rowe

Huddersfield Town have signed Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe on-loan.

The 19-year-old has made six appearances for the Gunners' first-team this season, but is one of several young academy products that new manager Mikel Arteta has decided to let leave on loan to gain first-team experience.

The England youth international, who spent a period on loan in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig last season, but was limited to just three appearance because of injury problems, will join up with Danny Cowley's side, who currently sit 20th in the second-tier and are looking to avoid back-to-back relegations.

“We're delighted to complete the loan move to bring Emile to the Club today, as it's the culmination of an ongoing process that began in early November," manager Dan Cowley told the club website.

“Nicky and I spent a week at Arsenal in the summer and Emile is a player that we know well. We've got some good relationships with the Club and we're very appreciative of them loaning us one of their very best young players.

“Emile will give us the creative link that we've been missing. He can play in a range of attacking positions and he can speed up our play. We're really looking forward to working with him."
