      That led to reports that he could be shipped out in the closed season as Mikel Arteta looks to freshen up his squad ahead of a renewed title challenge next term.
      But SunSport revealed the Gunners have no plans to let Smith Rowe leave.
      Away from the speculation over his future, Smith Rowe recently starred in a TikTok video with A Star Tattoos, who produced the attacker’s ink works, visiting his home.
      While there, the England youth ace showed his guest a collection of several framed shirts that he has amassed from playing against some of the greats in the game.

      But amongst those hung up on his wall was a Spurs one that he had got from Son Heung-min, which is sure to not go down well with Gooners.
      Meanwhile, Smith Rowe is currently preparing to go away with the England Under-21s next month for the Euros in Georgia and Romania.
      Smith Rowe has three appearances and a goal for the Three Lions senior side.
      The star joined Arsenal at the age of 10 in 2010.

      He signed his first professional contract in July 2018 and made his first-team debut against Vorskla Poltava in the Europa League two months later.
      The midfielder has since scored 18 goals in 96 appearances for the Gunners.
      Now he will be looking to return to pre-season training in tip-top condition.

      According to The Athletic, Real are among the clubs keeping tabs in the star striker after Ancelotti declared his interest during transfer showdown talks with the club’s hierarchy.
      The Italian tactician met with president Florentino Perez and general manager Jose Angel Sanchez on Thursday at Los Blancos’ Valdebebas training ground.
      That is when the ex-Chelsea boss asked for the England captain to reinforce his attack ahead of next season.
      The former Everton manager will need a new centre-forward if Karim Benzema ends his legendary 14-year stint at Santiago Bernabeu amid ongoing reports linking him with Al-Ittihad.

      Ancelotti remained coy, though, when addressing links with Kane recently.
      The 63-year-old head coach described the forward as a “top player” but insisted he wouldn’t discuss the topic further out of “respect” for Tottenham.
      Ancelotti said: “Harry Kane is a top player but we have to respect Tottenham, he’s a Tottenham player.
      “I can guarantee to you that Real Madrid will have a competitive team again next season”.

      Manchester United are also in the running for Kane’s signature amid their desperate search for a top centre-forward to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
      The 29-year-old doesn’t appear keen to go abroad as he is only 48 goals away from surpassing Alan Shearer’s legendary Premier League record of 260.
      Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, though, is not keen to sell his star player to a direct rival. More

      But it was not until the club were purchased by Middle Eastern owners in 2008 that success was brought to the blue half of Manchester.
      So until winning the Premier League title in 2012, Richards had to put up with the likes of Ferdinand one upping him.
      He said on BBC punditry duty: “I was out every week, but anyway. 
      “It was painful to say the least and I just remember we were going out – and you always go out for a drink after the season or whatnot.

      “More times than not (United) were always champions and there was a nightclub in Manchester, it was called Circle. 
      “And I was a made man in there, I was a man about town but Rio Ferdinand used to come in with his Premier League winners medal round his neck, giving it the big one. 
      “And I used to hate him so much for it, but, but, we won it in 2012 so where did you find me? In the exact same place.” 
      Asked if he rocked up with his medal, Richards said: “Of course!”

      Richards also won an FA Cup with City before leaving in 2015 after a loan spell with Fiorentina.
      He retired in 2019 following four seasons with Aston Villa and has now become a cult hero as a pundit.
      And Richards took his seat up in the Wembley box as old side City faced rivals United in the FA Cup final.

      Mount, 24, has been at the club since academy level and currently earns a weekly wage of £75,000.
      His current contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire at the end of next season.
      And Manchester United have already agreed personal terms that would see him move to Old Trafford, according to The Guardian.
      The report claims the England international had hoped for more and relations with the club’s hierarchy have become strained.

      The club and new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, are believed to have insisted that they wanted to keep hold of the midfielder.
      However, Man Utd are now looking to seal a deal that would complete the move for Mount.
      Boss Erik ten Hag is thought to be a fan of Mount’s pressing game and is keen to add more athleticism to his midfield options.
      Chelsea are looking to sell multiple stars this summer to make up for the £600million outlay on players over the last year.

      An exit for Mount would relieve potential FFP issues the club could face with the Blues holding out for £70m plus add-ons.
      Although due to his contract running down, the Red Devils are hoping to pay between £50m and £60m and have made contact with the London club.
      If a deal cannot be agreed with United or another of Mount’s suitors, the Blues would look to get one last season out of him and try to persuade him to stay for longer in the meantime.
      Mount looked emotional at the end of Chelsea’s final match of the season last month as he waved goodbye to supporters. More

      And Richards took the time to apologise after revealing he once voted to drop his son Kasper in favour of Joe Hart.
      He said: “So many moons ago, under Sven-Goran Eriksson, your son played with me at Manchester City.
      “And, Joe Hart was there also. So Sven-Goran Eriksson pulls us into his office and says, he doesn’t really know who to play out of Kasper or Joe.

      “But obviously I was friendly with Joe. So I picked Joe Hart. But I wasn’t the captain!
