Arsenal sold a goal scoring midfielder and they could be kicking themselves for letting him go.
As Arsenal gears up for a crucial showdown against Manchester City, they find themselves grappling with a sobering reality.
Just hours before this pivotal match, the Gunners must contend with the absence of captain Martin Ødegaard due to injury, a blow that stings even more given the recent resurgence of Emile Smith Rowe at Fulham.
After leaving the Emirates for £34 million transfer, Smith Rowe has quickly established himself as a vital cog in Marco Silva's side.

Is it the right time for Mikel Arteta to unleash Raheem Sterling?
During his time at Chelsea, Raheem Sterling scored against Manchester City on three different occasions and as Arsenal play Pep Guardiola's men, it could be the time to unleash him.
His impressive performances, including a standout display where he scored in Fulham's recent 3-1 victory over Newcastle, have showcased the talent Arsenal reluctantly let slip through their fingers.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that Smith Rowe is not just finding his feet; he’s thriving in a top-flight environment, reminding fans and pundits alike of his potential to shine at the highest level.

With Ødegaard sidelined for up to eight weeks due to ankle ligament damage, Arsenal now face a significant gap in creativity and leadership in their midfield. Smith Rowe would have been the ideal candidate to step in, seamlessly filling the void left by the Norwegian.
His ability to weave through defenses and create scoring opportunities would have provided the Gunners with much-needed dynamism against a formidable Manchester City side.
Mikel Arteta’s decision to allow Smith Rowe to depart was driven by the player's desire for regular first-team football, a sentiment that’s hard to fault. However, as Arsenal struggles to find a replacement for Ødegaard—whether it’s Kai Havertz, who has yet to deliver consistent creative output, or Leandro Trossard, who thrives wider on the pitch—the echoes of that transfer reverberate painfully.
It’s not merely about Smith Rowe’s current form; it’s about missed opportunities and a lack of depth. The Gunners are left to ponder whether they might have been better served keeping a player who, despite recent injury troubles, has demonstrated he still possesses the quality to impact top-tier matches.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow, and the ramifications of this decision may linger long after the final whistle blows.
In the high-stakes world of football, the margins are slim, and the decisions made during transfer windows can haunt clubs for seasons.
For Arsenal, the reality is stark—while Smith Rowe shines in west London, they are left grappling with what might have been.
