After an impressive pre-season, Smith Rowe made his senior debut for Arsenal in the Europa League in September
He then went on to play five more times and scored three goals. Injury has meant the 18-year-old hasn't played since November 29
But in a bid to give Smith Rowe more first-team experience, the Independent say the teen star is on the verge of joining RB Leipzig
The report says manager Unai Emery has given his blessing for the deal to go ahead and the player is on his way to Germany to complete the move
Smith Rowe's move to Germany follows Reiss Nelson's season-long loan at Hoffenheim
In December, Smith Rowe opened up on what Emery had been asking of him. "The manager has done one-to-one stuff with me a few times after training, working on one-v-one attacking and just being patient," Smith Rowe told Sky Sports
"The assistant manager [Juan Carlos Carcedo] has been helping me a lot too with turning on the ball when I play in the No 10 position
"It's good to get that help on the pitch, so I can actually practise it, instead of in the classroom
"But even in the classroom they have both had one-on-ones with me which I've found really useful
" Meanwhile, Arsenal appear to have completed a deal for Denis Suarez. At around 5pm, Barcelona released a statement on their website which said a loan deal for Suarez had been agreed
But within 30 mins, the article had been removed from Barcelona's website. It's understood the statement was published in error but the deal for Suarez will still go ahead and Arsenal will announce the transfer on Thursday
