Souness claims Smith Rowe as good as Havertz
Graeme Souness doesn't believe Arsenal needed to sign Kai Havertz as they already have a skilled player in Emile Smith Rowe.
Quoted by TBR Football, the former Liverpool man said: "Smith Rowe. I like him. As a midfield player, running into the box, clever passes. Everything seems to be done when he’s sprinting, which I like. He’s a goal threat. And then Arteta spends £60 million on Havertz."
Dyche reacts to Onana links
Everton boss Sean Dyche has dismissed Amadou Onana's recent transfer links to Arsenal.
As per 90Min, Dyche said: "He's been heavily linked before I was here and after, it's just another story. He's an Everton player, so any decision that we make on players, it will be us that decide."
