According to TEAMTALK, Mikel Arteta has big plans for Emile Smith Rowe going forward, so would like for him to remain an Arsenal player.

Arsenal transfer news – Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber announced ASAP

If, like me, you spend every free minute refreshing Arsenal’s Twitter feed, this will come as great news to you.

According to Football London, there is only one reason why Declan Rice is yet to be announced officially and that is due to lawyers. Should be no issues, though, these things just take time.

The report states that Arsenal would like to have Rice confirmed and officially signed before their upcoming pre-season tour. The same can be said for defender Jurrien Timber. For context, the Gunners travel to Germany to face Nurnberg on Thursday, before commencing the rest of their pre-season matches in the USA a week from that day.
