Myles Lewis-Skelly faces transfer interest from Chelsea and Manchester United
Arsenal midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly has become the subject of intense transfer speculation involving Premier League rivals Chelsea and Manchester United. Reports suggest the 19-year-old has been offered to these clubs via intermediaries, potentially due to increased competition in Arsenal's midfield following the £75 million signing of Bruno Guimaraes.
While some reports indicate Arsenal might consider offers in the region of £45 million to £86 million, the club has maintained they have not actively offered the player to anyone. Lewis-Skelly, a versatile player capable of playing as a left-back or central midfielder, has expressed a strong desire to remain at his boyhood club and fight for a place in Mikel Arteta's starting XI.
In recent pre-season action, Lewis-Skelly scored against Como, a performance seen by some as a response to the exit rumors. Despite the interest, Manchester United has reportedly declined to pursue the deal, and Lewis-Skelly remains focused on his development at the Emirates Stadium.
