Fabrizio Romano on ESR: “So he’s waiting to come back from holiday and then to meet with Arsenal, complete some details and then sign the new contract with Arsenal".

"Speaking on CBS Sports’ Que Golazo, Romano appeared to signal that Smith Rowe’s chances of making the move to Villa Park looked slim, as he felt it more likely that he would sign a contract extension rather than move:
“So he’s waiting to come back from holiday and then to meet with Arsenal, complete some details and then sign the new contract with Arsenal.
“So from Smith Rowe’s side, he wants to stay at Arsenal, many times he said about he’s living his dream playing for Arsenal, he wants to stay and Arsenal are so happy with him. So if someone wants to break the agreement, verbal agreement between Smith Rowe and Arsenal, they need to break the bank.
“So my feeling is that Smith Rowe is staying, and they’re gonna extend this contract because as I said, some weeks ago, it was already prepared.”
Looks Arsenal have got things sorted , just needs ESR to sign on dotted line. Great news
