Hammers close in on Arsenal playmaker Smith Rowe
Both ExWHUEmploee and Fabrizio Romano have confirmed West Ham are actively pursuing a loan deal for Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal. David Moyes is eager to secure two signings, and the England attacking midfielder, who has seen limited playing time at the Emirates, is on his radar.
Smith Rowe initially made a promising breakthrough into the Arsenal first team as an academy graduate in 2018. Despite an impressive 2021/22 season with 10 Premier League goals, he has faced challenges recently, enduring a goal drought due to various injury setbacks. This season, he has only managed 118 minutes of Premier League action, facing tough competition for playing time in midfield and wide positions.

In response to Smith Rowe’s inactivity for the Gooners, David Moyes is reportedly keen on making a move. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, West Ham are in discussions for a potential six-month loan deal with the North Londoner’s.
The potential acquisition of Smith Rowe would be an additional move for West Ham, alongside their pursuit of Kalvin Phillips.
