Fulham complete club-record signing of Arsenal star

 

Fulham have completed the club-record signing of Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe.

 

The Whites have paid an initial £27 million for the 24-year-old, and could pay a further £7 million if certain add-ons are met. 

 

 

“I’m finally here, so I’m really happy for me and my family – it’s a good moment,” said Smith Rowe. 

 

“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,” he added. 

 

 

The Arsenal academy graduate has penned a five-year contract at Craven Cottage, with the option of a further year.
