Everton, Newcastle United, and West Ham United have no chance of signing 19-year-old English international Myles Lewis-Skelly from Arsenal.
According to a report by Football Insider, Everton, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are interested in Myles Lewis-Skelly. The three clubs are keen on reinforcing their first-team squads by signing a versatile midfielder. So, the 19-year-old Arsenal wonderkid has emerged as a target for the Premier League outfits. However, the Gunners will not entertain any bids to part ways with the teenage sensation.
Myles Lewis-Skelly and his Arsenal situation
Myles Lewis-Skelly has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Premier League since breaking into the first-team squad at Arsenal. A native of London, the Englishman has spent his formative years thus far with the North London club, and he enjoyed his breakthrough at the Emirates last season.
The 19-year-old has already made over 50 appearances thus far for Arsenal while chipping in with one goal and five assists. Lewis-Skelly’s exploits have earned him his international bow, and he has represented England six times. However, the English utility man’s struggles for game time have piqued the attention of several well-known clubs, including Everton, Newcastle United, and West Ham United.
A man in demand
Everton will dip into the market for a versatile midfielder next year, as Idrissa Gueye is on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the twilight of his career. Several candidates, including James Ward-Prowse, have thus emerged on Everton’s radar, with Lewis-Skelly also a viable target.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s interest in Myles Lewis-Skelly is understandable. The Magpies are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder amid uncertainties surrounding Joelinton’s long-term future. Several candidates, including James Garner, are on Newcastle United’s radar, with the Arsenal wonderkid also an option worth considering.
As for West Ham United, James Ward-Prowse has no future at the London Stadium under Nuno Espirito Santo. Additionally, Guido Rodriguez may leave the East London club in the winter transfer window. So, West Ham must invest in a top-notch midfielder, with Lewis-Skelly a viable target.
However, a winter move will not materialise, as Arsenal will not entertain any bids to part ways with the 19-year-old English international. So, even though Lewis-Skelly will struggle for regular game time this season, he will not go anywhere in the coming weeks.
