Arsenal consider Emile Smith Rowe exit as Edu eyes potential James Maddison transfer

Leicester City star James Maddison is on Arsenal's radar ahead of the summer transfer window, as per the Mirror.

Mikel Arteta's side were heavily linked with a move for Maddison back in the summer of 2021 before Sporting Director Edu eventually sanctioned a deal to sign now-captain Martin Odegaard instead. Since then, Odegaard has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, netting 15 league goals and providing a further seven assists this term.

However, the likes of Fabio Vieira and Emile Smith Rowe have both struggled to make a meaningful impact over the course of the 2022/23 campaign, meaning Odegaard has shouldered much of the creative burden as a result. Now, it is claimed that the Gunners could potentially remedy this by allowing Smith Rowe to leave this summer, with Maddison said to still be of interest as a potential replacement for the Hale End academy graduate.
