# Aston Villa: Fans react to Emile Smith Rowe links

**Aston Villa have been linked with a move for Arsenal ace Emile Smith Rowe in recent days.**

And, as to be expected, a number of Aston Villa fans have been reacting to the transfer news on social media.

According to [Mike McGrath of The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/06/02/transfer-notebook-bernardo-silva-could-casualty-manchester-citys/?utm_content=football&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1622650700), Villa hold an interest in the 20-year-old while his new deal with the Gunners is yet to be tied up.

Smith Rowe established himself as a regular in Mikel Arteta’s side in the second half of the 2020/21 campaign, making [33](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emile-smith-rowe/leistungsdaten/spieler/392765) senior appearances in all competitions.

His current contract at the Emirates runs until [2023](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emile-smith-rowe/profil/spieler/392765), and it seems as if Villa are looking at the attacking midfielder as a possible summer addition.

[McGrath](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/06/02/transfer-notebook-bernardo-silva-could-casualty-manchester-citys/?utm_content=football&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1622650700) adds that Villa have also considered Norwich’s Emi Buendia, but Smith Rowe appears to be a new name on the club’s summer wishlist.
