Arsenal youngster Emile Smith Rowe makes loan switch to Sky Bet Championship side Huddersfield Town


Sky Bet Championship side Huddersfield have completed the loan signing of Arsenal youngster Emile Smith Rowe.

The 19-year-old will spend the remainder of the 2019/20 campaign at the John Smith's Stadium.

Smith Rowe made six senior appearances for the Gunners this season with three of those coming in the Europa League.

Despite that, new Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was keen to ensure that the midfielder moved out to get more regular minutes elsewhere.

On the signing, Huddersfield boss Danny Cowley said: "We’re delighted to complete the loan move to bring Emile to the Club today, as it’s the culmination of an ongoing process that began in early November.

"Nicky and I spent a week at Arsenal in the summer and Emile is a player that we know well.

"We’ve got some good relationships with the club and we’re very appreciative of them loaning us one of their very best young players.

"Emile will give us the creative link that we’ve been missing.

"He can play in a range of attacking positions and he can speed up our play. We’re really looking forward to working with him."

Smith Rowe will wear the number 32 shirt during his time at the club.
