Chelsea ‘propose Emile Smith Rowe swap deal’ as Arsenal reject opening offer
But Mikel Arteta may be tempted back to the negotiating table if it means getting his hands one of Mauricio Pochettino’s squad members, with Smith Rowe’s future at the Emirates Stadium far from certain.
The 23-year-old hasn’t started a game since May 2022 and is yet to be used in any of their three Premier League matches under Arteta this season.
Express Sport look at three players who could interest the north London side if the Blues return with the offer of a swap deal.

Mykhaylo Mudryk
Rewind eight months and it was Arsenal who were in the driving seat to land Ukraine’s biggest talent in a deal from Shakhtar Donetsk. That was until Chelsea blew them out of the water with a package worth £88million and snatched Mudryk from under their noses.
The 22-year-old has struggled to shine in his first months in the Premier League and is yet to score in 17 appearances, leading many to question whether he joined the wrong team.
Mudryk is yet to start a league match for the club under Mauricio Pochettino despite impressing in pre-season and if Arsenal were keen to do a straight swap, it may be entertained by the Argentine if he is losing patience with the winger.

Chelsea risk upsetting Pochettino as decision made on home favourite Gallagher
Conor Gallagher
Both are English, 23 and loved by the fans. So it remains a mystery why Smith Rowe and Gallagher not consider regulars by their clubs, despite their homegrown value and admirable passion.
The midfielder has started all three games under Pochettino but his future remains uncertain, with two years left on his contract and no renewal in sight. If a £40m bid arrives this summer, Chelsea could sell – and the fact Arsenal want a similar amount for Smith Rowe means this could be a deal that suits both sides.
After all, Mikel Arteta has made it clear he could always do with another midfielder. There aren’t many like tough-tackling Gallagher in his squad, and if Smith Rowe really is out of his plans, he could benefit from a straight swap.

Arsenal’s new kit for 2023/2024 is a stylish twist on a classic as it reinvents that mid-1990s vibe.

Trevoh Chalobah
A regular under Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, Pochettino doesn’t seem to rate Chalobah in the same category as his other defenders Axel Disasi or Levi Colwill.
The 24-year-old is a favourite with the fans due to his undeniable work ethic and commitment, but his performances over the past 12 months have seen him lose his place in the team.
Reports suggest Bayern Munich are negotiating a deal to take Chalobah on a permanent deal to reunite him with Tuchel, but the player – born and raised in London – might favour a move that allows him to stay in the English capital.
And with Arsenal searching for cover for Jurrien Timber, who better than a player with Chalobah’s experience and versatility?
