Aston Villa could be set to renew their interest in Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe, according to the latest reports from TalkSport.

The Midlands club was keen on signing the talented Gunners ace back in 2021, but they saw their £30 million bid turned down by the current Premier League leaders.

Aston Villa renew transfer interest in Smith Rowe

It has been reported that a move for the midfielder may be more achievable this summer, as Villa boss Unai Emery already has a reputation with Smith Rowe after handing him his Arsenal debut as a teenager.

The Gunners could also be willing to part ways with the 22-year-old, as he has played a minor role in their successful season this term. Smith Rowe has made just seven Premier League appearances, registering one assist.

Villa look set to be prioritizing a summer move for an attacking midfielder, and Smith Rowe is a star that they have monitored closely throughout his career. The addition of being able to offer European soccer is likely to be another boost to their chances.
