RB Leipzig in talks to bring on loan Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe

The German football club RB Leipzig are earnestly pursuing the acquisition of Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal during the current winter transfer window.

The Bundesliga side is expressing a keen interest in securing the services of the talented English youngster, contemplating a loan deal that would span the remainder of the season.

Throughout his tenure with Arsenal, Emile Smith Rowe has showcased his prowess in 109 matches, exhibiting his goal-scoring ability with a tally of 18 goals and contributing significantly with 12 assists.

Additionally, he has donned the English national team jersey in three games, managing to find the back of the net on one occasion.

According to reports from The Sun, it appears that Smith Rowe may be more enticed by the prospect of joining RB Leipzig than a previous offer extended by West Ham United, a proposal that the player had opted to turn down.

Although deeply committed to his Arsenal aspirations, Smith Rowe might be contemplating a temporary departure from English football to rediscover his peak performance without the burden of excessive pressure.
