Arsenal welcome German side Bayer Leverkusen to The Emirates for the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Wednesday evening.
The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw by their Bundesliga opponents in the first leg last week, with a late Kai Havertz penalty rescuing a draw for the visitors.
Domestically, Mikel Arteta’s side have been in sensational form and took a huge step towards the Premier League title by beating Everton 2-0 on Sunday, extending their lead at the top of the table to nine points.
Ahead of the visit of Leverkusen, however, it has emerged that one member of Arteta’s squad is attracting serious interest from other Premier League clubs.
As per CaughtOffside, defender Myles lewis-Skelly is on the radar of several Premier League sides as he continues to struggle for game time at Arsenal.
The report claims that the likes of Everton, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United are all monitoring the Englishman, who can play in a variety of roles including at left-back and in midfield.

Lewis-Skelly, 19, is a product of Arsenal’s youth system and enjoyed something of a breakthrough season last term, making a total of 39 appearances across all competitions for Arteta’s side.
This season has been a different story, however, with the England international having started just one of the Gunners’ 31 Premier League matches so far.
It is claimed that the north London outfit are considering allowing the defender to leave The Emirates on loan for the 2026/27 campaign, and the player himself may be keen to do so in order to secure more regular football.
While he has already made six appearances for England at senior level, the full-back will be aware that his lack of playing time at club level is likely hindering his chances of being included in Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the World Cup this summer.
Lewis-Skelly’s contract with Arsenal is set to run until the end of the 2029/30 campaign.
