Aston Villa are ready to make a THIRD offer for Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe.
The Mirror says if Arsenal thought Aston Villa were just testing the waters with regards Emile Smith Rowe, they're now aware that the West Midlands club are serious about prising away their homegrown star following a second bid of £30million.
The Villans have made the England Under-21 international one of their chief transfer targets as they seek to relieve the creative burden on the shoulders of talisman Jack Grealish.
Argentina international Emi Buendia has already arrived from Norwich City in a £35million deal to help do that, but boss Dean Smith wants more and the club's ambitious, billionaire owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens are ready to back him and sporting director Johan Lange.
