Fulham have announced the signing of Emile Smith Rowe who joins them from London rivals Arsenal on a five-year deal.
Smith Rowe is now teammate with Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.
“The Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal for an undisclosed fee,” Fulham said in a statement.
“An England international, Smith Rowe has penned a five-year contract, keeping him at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2029, with a Club option to extend by a further 12 months.
“A versatile attacking player, he primarily operated off the left wing or as a number 10 for the Gunners, but is also comfortable on the right, or in a slightly deeper midfield role.”
Speaking to FFCtv after putting pen to paper, Smith Rowe said: “I’m finally here, so I’m really happy for me and my family – it’s a good moment.
“I’m really excited, I just wanted to get here as quickly as possible so I could get going with my teammates.
“Listening to the project, speaking to the Manager, and seeing what players we have here already, I think it’s an exciting project for me, and definitely the perfect step for my career going forward.”

Smith Rowe’s first taste of senior football came in 2018/19 when he made six appearances across the UEFA Europa League and League Cup, scoring three goals, before a brief loan spell in Germany with RB Leipzig in the second half of the campaign.
A Premier League debut arrived that December, before another loan – this time at second tier Huddersfield Town – where he scored his first league goal in a 3-2 defeat by Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Smith Rowe impressed during his time in Yorkshire, and scored the late winner against West Bromwich Albion that confirmed their Championship survival in the penultimate match of the season.
