Chelsea are now ready to make a swap to sign the ‘incredible’ 23-year-old, the club don’t want him to leave

Chelsea are now set to offer Arsenal some players in a bid to sign Emile Smith Rowe before Friday’s transfer deadline.

The Daily Mail reports it.

What’s the latest on Emile Smith Rowe and Chelsea? We see…

What’s the story?

Well, this rumor seemed ludicrous at first, given Smith Rowe’s love of Arsenal and his status as a Gunners endorser. However, it is now generating some momentum.

Firstly, a story in The Times claimed Arsenal would be willing to sell Smith Rowe after Chelsea officially approached the 23-year-old.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, Chelsea would be willing to negotiate an exchange with Arsenal, even if no names have been named.

The article said Arsenal were against the sale of Smith Rowe – whom Mikel Arteta called an “incredible” player – to Chelsea.

However, the Daily Mail article said the Gunners would be willing to cash in their No. 10 if they received an offer well above market value – something the Times alluded to – so this deal is still possible in the event of a big one.

Chelsea waste valuable time with Smith Rowe

In our opinion, Chelsea have already wasted valuable time even inquiring about Smith Rowe.

The England international’s market value – in this bloated climate – is likely to be around £60m, meaning Chelsea would likely have to bid around £80m to land the graduate of Hale End.

Although Smith Rowe is a phenomenal talent, it would be a bizarre use of money, especially as Chelsea still lack a world-class goalkeeper and also a number one. 9 that could compete with Nicolas Jackson.

Still, Chelsea certainly seem to be a fan of the Croydon-born playmaker, so be sure to keep an eye on the situation.
