Smith-Rowe Completes Fulham Switch In Club-Record Deal

Smith-Rowe is Fulham's second summer signing after Ryan Sessegnon joined on a free transfer from Tottenham Hotspurs.

The 24-year-old came through the Arsenal youth system to make 115 appearances, scoring 18 goals and providing 13 assists.

He has previously spent time on loan at RB Leipzig and Huddersfield Town.

"I'm finally here, so I'm really happy for me and my family -- it's a good moment," Smith Rowe said of the transfer.

"I'm really excited, I just wanted to get here as quickly as possible so I could get going with my teammates.

"Listening to the project, speaking to the manager, and seeing what players we have here already, I think it's an exciting project for me, and definitely the perfect step for my career going forward."

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has wished Smith-Rowe well on his new career path.

"Emile's commitment, attitude and energy every day was first class, always stepping up when the team needed him," said the Arsenal boss.

"He came into the first team and was instrumental during a difficult moment for us. He created an important impression, with his strong performances making our supporters proud.

"I'm sad that Emile is leaving us, but excited for him to take this new opportunity at this stage of his career, when he needs to be starting matches and playing regularly.

"Emile is loved by everyone at the club and leaves us with our gratitude, absolute respect and best wishes. We all wish Emile and his family well at Fulham."

Smith-Rowe has three caps for England.
