The England international has played just over 700 minutes in the last two seasons and he could pursue a new challenge soon.

Smith Rowe has a strong bond with the Gunners, but the club are unlikely to block him from leaving, should he request to leave.

The club have already turned down an opening bid of £30m from Fulham and they are awaiting more transfer proposals in the coming days.

The Cottagers are optimistic of winning the race for the 24-year-old, but Palace could provide stiff competition for the versatile star.

The south London club recently gained a huge fee with Michael Olise 's move to Bayern Munich and could spend the sum on Smith Rowe .

Smith Rowe seems open to joining either club, but could prefer to sign for Fulham , having already spoken with manager Marco Silva .
