Former Aston Villa player Gabby Agbonlahor has advised Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe against joining Newcastle United.

Agbonlahor suggested that Smith Rowe may not be guaranteed an automatic starting spot if he decides to move to Newcastle United.

The Gunners midfielder has faced challenges in securing regular playing time at Arsenal due to injuries.

This raised suggestions that he should consider leaving the North London club and the Magpies have emerged as one of his prominent suitors, as they are in the process of gathering a team of young and promising English players.

Although the prospect of joining Newcastle is appealing to Smith Rowe, the key question is whether he will get enough game time at the club.

Agbonlahor does not think so. He said to Football Insider:

“He can be a good squad player for Newcastle.

“But that’s the problem. He’d be leaving Arsenal for another club where he isn’t going to start.

“Let’s not forget, Newcastle have got Willock coming back in that position. He was brilliant last season and has been completely forgotten about by everyone.

“They’ve also got Guimaraes in that area.

“If he came to Newcastle, he’d have to fight for a position. It’s not going to be guaranteed.”
