After 14 years with the North Londoners, the 24-year-old midfielder is departing for Arsenal. He is the most expensive school graduate to leave the club in its history.

Smith Rowe has signed for the Cottagers for a long-term price of £27 million with £7 million in add-ons. He might make his debut on Monday in a home friendly against Sevilla.
This week, he departed Arsenal’s pre-season camp in the United States to get his physical before joining Fulham’s club in Portugal. He is ready to get started right away, having made only 25 Premier League appearances since August 2022.
