Arsenal fans will definitely be having mixed feelings now that Emile Smith-Rwe’s transfer to Fulham has been confirmed. midfielder made his first team debut in September 2018, when he came on as a substitute in our 4-2 win against Vorskla Poltava, creating history as the first player born in the 2000s to debut for the club.

After a couple of very positive loans with RB Leipzig and Huddersfield, he was welcomed to the Arsenal first team alongside Bukayo Saka.

During The Gunners 2021/22 season Smith-Rowe was a beacon of light as an academy graduate enduring nearly 2,000 minutes of Premier League game time and 33 matches too in which he scored ten times with two assists to his name.

Since then the injury struck youngster has failed to cement his position in perhaps the best Arsenal team since the 2003/04 Invincible’s team.

Despite being plagued by injury in recent times the Englishman is still regarded as one of the most promising youngsters in the Premiership who could certainly benefit a mid-table side like Fulham and I would think that if he can stay fit he would play just about every game next season.

The finale is here! And Pete brings perhaps the best episode of the lot for you today. We pick things up at the start of April, where barns were burning everywhere, Nottingham Forest’s X admin was setting fire to bridges everywhere, and the Premier League approached its exciting conclusion.

And don’t forget some memorable s**thousery overseas – from suspicious activity in Hungary’s U14s league, to a Dutch referee officiating a game and then lifting the title for one of the teams. All that and much more on today’s final Football Ramble Best Of 2023/24!

Oh, and the internet went into meltdown over VAR. Remember Tottenham vs Liverpool? Yeah… Listen to relive all that and more!

Before you listen to this episode, we want to set one thing straight: despite Pete’s accusations, Marcus does not smoke crack cocaine. All right? All right.

Marcus, Jim and Pete catch up with the world of club football and quickly remember why Harry Redknapp definitely still records Match of the Day on his YouView box. The FA continue their hunt for the next England manager, with Eddie Howe now taking centre stage – Marcus, though, still thinks they’ll hold out for Pep Guardiola! Plus, unconfirmed reports that the Saudis are willing to pay Oasis to get back together as well as cover Ederson’s £900,000-per-week wages…

After four tournaments, two finals, a collection of excellent waistcoats and one flare up the arse, Gareth Southgate’s time as England manager is over. Today Marcus, Luke and Jim are here to reflect on what Southgate’s legacy will be once the dust has settled.

There's also the question of who comes next? Marcus explains why Eddie Howe might just have an advantage over Graham Potter in the race to become the next England manager. That advantage of course goes by the name of Jason Tindall…

With Arsenal closing in on signing Riccardo Calafiori, they are likely to allow Jakub Kiwior to leave the club.

The Polish defender has been highly sought-after during this transfer window, with several clubs expressing interest in him.

During negotiations to sell Calafiori to Arsenal, Bologna discussed the possibility of signing Kiwior. Additionally, Juventus and Napoli have shown interest in him in recent weeks.

A report from Football Italia indicates that more clubs are now joining the race for his signature, including Inter Milan. The Serie A champions are actively seeking new defenders, especially after losing Juan Cabal to Juventus.

Inter Milan has now turned their attention to Kiwior and will make a move to sign him if Arsenal makes him available for transfer.

Emile Smith Rowe was one of the scorers as Arsenal defeated Leyton Orient 2-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly today.

Both Fulham and Crystal Palace have shown interest in the midfielder, especially after he lost his place in the first team at Arsenal.

Although the Gunners want him to stay, they will not stand in his way if he asks to leave, provided the offer is right.

As those two clubs try to sign him, Smith Rowe is preparing well for the new season, hopeful that he will be a starter if he remains at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta likes Smith Rowe and will give him chances to play if he stays fit. However, injuries have plagued him over the last few seasons.

Arsenal has become a good place for players to transition into management, as yet another former Gunner becomes a manager in a top European league.

The Gunners have enjoyed the talents of many great players throughout their history, particularly during Arsene Wenger’s tenure, which produced many leaders.

The Frenchman led his team to several domestic trophies, including the unbeaten 2003/2004 Premier League title.

Since Wenger’s departure in 2018, several former players who worked with him have become successful managers.

The current Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta, played under Wenger, and the latest former Gunner to follow this path is Cesc Fabregas.

Arsenal has done all they can to keep Chido Obi Martin at the club, but there is a good chance the youngster, who scored ten goals in a game, will leave.

He is due for a new deal, and Arsenal has offered him one of the best terms ever extended to a teenager.

However, he has spoken to the likes of Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United, among other clubs.

He now has to decide whether to accept Arsenal’s offer or move to another top club, and he seems to be leaning towards an exit.

Obi Martin is not impressed that he did not get chances to play in the Arsenal first team despite his goal-scoring feats for the club’s youth teams.

Bologna CEO Claudio Fenucci has responded to calls for updates on the Riccardo Calafiori saga.

The defender’s complicated move to Arsenal is one of the biggest stories in Italian football right now.

Arsenal found him too good to ignore after watching the defender at Euro 2024, and they already have an agreement on personal terms with him.

They need to agree on a fee with Bologna and make payment before he can join them, but the move has stalled for now.

In the last few weeks, there has hardly been any movement, and Calafiori has been asked to return to the club for pre-season after his holiday.

Pedro Neto is one of the attackers constantly linked with a move to Arsenal, with some Gooners considering him an ideal backup to Bukayo Saka.

Neto has been in fantastic form over the last few seasons as one of the top players in the Premier League.

Injuries have robbed him of several games in England’s top flight, but whenever Neto is on the pitch, he delivers delightful performances on the right wing for Wolves.

His pace and trickery make him tough to defend against, and Arsenal appreciates how he performs.

The Gunners have kept him on their shopping list for a long time, and the attacker also wants to play for them.

Crystal Palace is set to table a bid for Emile Smith Rowe as Fulham struggles to acquire him from Arsenal.

This looks likely to be the midfielder’s final season as an Arsenal player, and the Gunners are willing to let him go for the right price.

Several clubs find Smith Rowe an exciting player to add to their squad and are pushing to secure an agreement for his signature.

However, no accepted offer for his signature has yet been made, and Arsenal is not in a hurry.

Days ago, Fulham made an offer worth around £30 million, but the Gunners turned it down.
