Aston villa sees second bid for Arsenals Emile Smith Rowe rejected

Aston Villa has seen a second bid of £30m for Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe rejected.

According to Skysports, this is the second bid tabled by Aston Villa for the 20-year-old England youth international. Villa had seen an initial offer of £25m rejected by Arsenal as the North London club is said to be digging in and not entertaining any offers for their youngster.

Emile Smith Rowe’s contract is set to expire at the end of June 2023, and the Gunners are confident of extending his contract.
