Fabrizio Romano: Smith Rowe ready to consider Arsenal exit (reliability: 5 stars)

Emile Smith Rowe is ready to seriously consider leaving Arsenal this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 23-year-old will assess his options if his lack of playing time will remain the same until the end of the season.

Smith Rowe has been reduced to a bit-time player under Mikel Arteta with the Spaniard settling on his preferred starting XI.

There's still a chance that the midfielder will be involved in the final months of the campaign but that's unlikely bar an injury crisis.
