Fulham has confirmed the record signing of Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe for an upfront fee of £27m.
Although the Cottagers haven’t revealed the full transfer fee for the 24-year-old, reports suggest it could increase to £34m with potential add-ons.
Smith Rowe, who joined Arsenal at the age of 10, made his first-team debut for the Gunners when he was 18 and has since played 80 Premier League matches, netting 12 goals.
He has earned three caps for England, with his most recent appearance coming in March 2022.
“I’m finally here, and I’m very happy for myself and my family – it’s a wonderful moment,” Smith Rowe expressed.
“I’m really looking forward to it; I wanted to get here as soon as possible so I could start working with my teammates.
“After hearing about the project, talking to the manager [Marco Silva], and seeing the players already at the club, I believe it’s an exciting venture for me and definitely the right step for my career moving forward.”
