New Fulham signing Emile Smith Rowe had his medical interrupted by former Arsenal teammates Alex Iwobi and Bernd Leno. Smith Rowe, 24, left Arsenal’s preseason tour in the USA to complete his £34 million move to West London. Seeking regular first-team football, the midfielder was undergoing an entrance assessment when Leno and Iwobi entered the room.
Leno greeted Smith Rowe with a hug, saying, “Good to see you. You’re finally here,” while Iwobi joked, “F****** hurry up mate. What you saying? He was enjoying America.” Mikel Arteta expressed sadness at seeing the Hale End Academy graduate leave but acknowledged it was necessary for Smith Rowe’s development.
Craven Cottage has become a popular destination for former Arsenal stars, with Iwobi and Leno already at the club and helping to welcome Smith Rowe. Fans loved the interaction, with one commenting, “I’m gonna watch Fulham next season.” Smith Rowe joins Fulham to reignite his career, following in the footsteps of former Arsenal players like Iwobi and Leno.
