Arsenal benefitting from Smith Rowe getting ‘bullied’ on loan, says Huddersfield chief

Arsenal are benefitting from Emile Smith Rowe getting “bullied” in the Championship during a loan spell at Huddersfield, says David Webb, the man who took a promising playmaker to the John Smith’s Stadium.

Back in January 2020, with game time in short supply for a talented academy graduate at Emirates Stadium, the decision was taken to leave north London in search of minutes.

Huddersfield were happy to open their doors for Smith Rowe, with 19 appearances taken in for the Terriers during his time in West Yorkshire.
