I believe this is not the perfect time to say this but I say it to clarify the ongoing saga”, Smith Rowe finally came out to reveal the real reason behind His shocking departure from Emirate

In an attempt to shed light on the ongoing story, Smith Rowe ultimately came forward to disclose the true reason behind his resignation from Emirate.

Feeling betrayed by his departure from Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has acknowledged that he let Emile Smith Rowe down.

Smith Rowe, who was having trouble getting consistent playing time at Arsenal, signed a £34 million contract to join Fulham at the beginning of August. The 24-year-old midfielder, who became Fulham’s record signing, inked a five-year deal and is expected to play a key role in Marco Silva’s team this year.

After a breakthrough 2021/22 season in which he scored 10 Premier League goals, he was adored by Arsenal supporters. But Smith Rowe’s aspirations at his boyhood club were undermined by injuries and competition for spots at the Gunners, and he was unable to live up to his potential.

While Arsenal was happy to secure a good price for Smith Rowe, Arteta’s emotions were conflicted. When asked if he had been depressed since Smith Rowe had left, Arteta said, “A lot.” I felt it strongly when Emile and I had our conversation.

“First and foremost, I am incredibly grateful that he joined the team during a difficult time. In a way, I believe he was the player that brought our fans and the team together. That was how I felt, and I’m not sure how to put it. When he joined the squad, something was different. He immediately generated a different energy.

And I feel like I’m not getting the best performance out of him, ugh. Needless to say, a lot happened throughout that period. I felt a great duty to give those lads an opportunity because I know how they feel in that facility and how hard everyone works to get them close to the first squad. That’s why I found it so heartbreaking. Can they maintain this level going forward and improve us? That’s the concept.

His remarks, which demonstrate the sincere friendship between the two, were echoed in the statement released by Arsenal following Smith Rowe’s confirmed departure earlier this month. “Emile always stepped up when the team needed him, and his dedication, attitude, and energy were first-rate every day,” Arteta remarked. He joined the first squad and played a crucial role for us at a trying time.
