FULHAM are set to sign Arsenal winger Emile Smith Rowe in a club record deal worth up to £34million.
Arsenal accepted a fee of £27million with £7million in add-ons, according to reports.
That beats the Cottagers’ current record outlay of £25million for Jean Michaël Seri from Nice in 2018.
Smith Rowe, who turned 24 this month, has reportedly left the Gunners’ United States tour to undergo a medical and sign his contract.
Smith Rowe made his debut for Arsenal as an eighteen-year-old in the Europe League in September 2018 before a loan spell that season at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
He joined Championship Huddersfield Town for the second half of the 2019-20 season.
Smith Rowe became a regular in Mikel Arteta’s side in the 2021-22 campaign, scoring twelve goals in 37 appearances. He also made his England debut and has three caps, the last of them in 2022.
But he struggled to push on after that season with injuries hampering his development and made fourteen and then eighteen appearances in the last two campaigns.
He would become Marc Silva’s second signing of the summer transfer window after ex-Cottager Ryan Sessegnon returned to Craven Cottage on a free transfer from Tottenham Hotspur.
