Fabregas Disappointed by Smith Rowe’s Arsenal Exit
Former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has voiced his disappointment over Emile Smith Rowe’s departure from Arsenal this summer. The 24-year-old midfielder has joined Fulham on a five-year contract after six seasons with Arsenal, where he scored 18 goals across all competitions. Smith Rowe’s playing time had diminished in recent seasons due to injuries and a dip in form.
Fabregas, speaking on the Planet Premier League podcast, praised Smith Rowe’s qualities in the attacking third, saying, “I’m a big fan of him. He’s so powerful when driving the ball, with a keen instinct for scoring and being in the right place at the right time. He understands passing and the third man exceptionally well.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
