Arsenal have reportedly rejected offers for the transfer of Emile Smith Rowe from two Premier League clubs this week.
The attacking midfielder looks set to leave the Gunners in the summer transfer window after starting just three top-flight games in the past two seasons.
The 23-year-old enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2020/21, scoring ten goals and creating two assists in 33 league appearances, but groin and knee injuries have restricted his playing time.
Even when fit, Smith Rowe appears to have fallen down the pecking order under manager Mikel Arteta, leading to speculation over his future at the club.

Fulham and Crystal Palace are keen to give the thrice-capped England international a fresh start in London, but have seen their bids to sign the youngster rebuffed, according to The Times.
Their offers are said to have fallen short of Arsenal‘s £30 million valuation of the player, who ‘wants to play regularly’.
Fulham are ‘considering’ an improved offer for Smith Rowe, whose current contract runs until 2026.
Arsenal rejected a £30m bid from Aston Villa in 2021, while Chelsea were linked with a move for the attacker last year before signing Cole Palmer from Manchester City for a transfer fee of £40m.
Eddie Nketiah, Aaron Ramsdale and Kieran Tierney could also leave Arsenal this summer.
