Arsenal starlet Emile Smith Rowe has opened up about the arrival of Kai Havertz in north London.
Smith Rowe endured a difficult 2022/23 campaign, playing less than 200 minutes across all competitions during a season plagued by injury. The Hale End academy graduate underwent surgery on a long-term groin issue before sustaining a thigh strain just as he was coming back to full fitness.
When he did finally return to action, he found himself low down Mikel Arteta's pecking order, often reduced to late cameos from the substitutes bench. The talented playmaker may find minutes even more difficult to come by next season due to the arrival of Havertz during this summer's transfer window.
