Emile Smith Rowe is one of the young players who is now the backbone for Arsenal. His impressive performances so far have given the North London club hope to compete in the league.
But actually Smith Rowe almost failed to join Arsenal. Recognized by the 21-year-old midfielder, he had a trial with Chelsea. However, at that time he failed to join the Blues.

“Yes, before I joined Arsenal, I did a trial to get into Chelsea through one of my friends who joined the local team,” Smith Rowe recalled as reported by Goal.
“My friend at the time was already there and did a trial. I don’t know how but he made it to Chelsea but I failed to follow in his footsteps at the time.”

“At that time, the result was very difficult for me to accept, especially since I was so young. But I tried straight away at Arsenal and I went in. Since then I have never looked back on those days,” he said.
