According to the latest report of Sky Sports, the English Premier League promotion horse Fulham in the transfer market has shown a strong enterprising spirit, they not only plan to submit a new offer for Arsenal midfielder Smith Rowe, but also in consideration of once again to the Manchester United to launch a bidding war on McTominay. This series of actions show Fulham's determination to strengthen the team and improve the depth of the squad.
Smith Rowe, as an excellent midfielder produced by Arsenal's youth system, has been in the spotlight since his promotion to the first team. However, over the last two seasons, his career at Arsenal has hit a low point, with frequent appearances as a substitute and a significant reduction in playing time. Last season, he made only 13 appearances in the Premier League, including only three starts, and failed to score, which undoubtedly posed a huge challenge to his career development. In the face of such a predicament, Smith Rowe has also begun to consider accepting offers from other teams in order to seek new development opportunities.
It is Smith Rowe's potential and strength that Fulham see as a key candidate to enhance their midfield control and creativity. It is reported that Fulham has previously submitted an offer to Arsenal, but failed to meet the Gunners' expectations and was rejected. However, this did not let Fulham give up the pursuit of Smith-Rowe's determination, they plan to submit a more sincere offer again in the near future, with a view to impressing the Arsenal senior management to facilitate the transaction.
In addition to Smith Rowe, Fulham are also keeping an eye on Manchester United midfielder McTominay. The Scotland international is also facing competitive pressure in the United squad, but is still widely recognized for his hard-hitting style on the field and excellent defensive ability. Fulham have previously made a £17 million offer to United for McTominay, which was also rejected. However, Fulham did not give up, they are still considering to continue to try to bring in this powerful midfielder, in order to enhance the team's defensive midfield ability.
In addition, Fulham have also shown interest in Brazilian midfielder Andre. This young talent of Fluminense has performed well in the Brazilian domestic league, and his technical characteristics and field style are highly compatible with Fulham's tactical needs. Therefore, Fulham is also actively seeking the possibility of bringing in Andre to further enrich the team's tactical play.
