Emile Smith Rowe has officially transferred from Arsenal to Fulham for a total fee of £34 million, marking the end of his 14-year association with the Gunners. In an emotional farewell on social media, he expressed gratitude to Arsenal fans, teammates, and staff, stating that this was the 'hardest message' he had to write. Smith Rowe, who made 115 appearances for Arsenal, struggled for game time in recent seasons due to injuries and increased competition for positions. His move to Fulham is seen as a chance to revive his career, as he aims for more regular playing time under manager Marco Silva. Fulham's vice-chairman expressed excitement about signing such a talented player, while Arsenal's Mikel Arteta acknowledged the impact Smith Rowe had during his time at the club. The transfer is also notable for breaking Fulham’s transfer record, previously set at £20 million.
