Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Mohamed salah, Morgan Rodgers and Myles Lewis-Skelly that you may have missed…
Former England defender and football pundit Gary Neville has made headlines with a bold claim that Arsenal could pursue Mohamed Salah this summer, as reports reveal the LIVERPOOL star has decided to leave Anfield at the end of the season.
Speaking on his podcast, Neville described Salah as a “world-class forward who can transform any attack” and said that ARSENAL, under their current ownership and recruitment strategy, could attempt to lure the Egyptian to North London.
The 31-year-old has been one of the Premier League’s standout performers for the past decade, scoring over 150 goals for Liverpool and winning multiple individual accolades, including two Golden Boots.
According to Neville, when Salah becomes available, Arsenal could see him as a marquee signing capable of elevating their title credentials and adding experience to their emerging squad. The suggestion comes amid swirling speculation where Salah will head after he leaves LIVERPOOL
Salah’s exit has already triggered interest from multiple clubs and leagues, with the Saudi Pro League reportedly leading the chase. In recent years, Saudi clubs have demonstrated their ability to attract top talent through lucrative contracts and commercial opportunities, with several Premier League stars making the switch.
Why a Move to London Is Unlikely
While Neville’s comments have generated excitement among ARSENAL fans, a move to North London appears highly improbable. There are several key reasons why Salah is more likely to head to Saudi Arabia than stay in England.
The financial incentives offered by Saudi clubs are on another level. Reports suggest that top Saudi teams are prepared to offer salaries and commercial deals far exceeding what any Premier League club could reasonably commit for a player entering the latter stages of his peak.
The Saudi Pro League offers Salah not just financial gain, but also a chance to expand his global brand and influence in a rapidly growing football market. Considering these factors, a move to London — whether Arsenal or another Premier League club — is highly unlikely.
The next chapter of Salah’s career seems destined to be in the Middle East rather than in North London, despite Neville’s sensational claims.
ARSENAL READY SELL MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY
Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith says he believes Arsenal could be willing to sell academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly to Manchester United this summer amid ongoing concerns over the defenders’s lack of regular first-team football.
Smith, now a pundit, made the comments this week while discussing Lewis-Skelly’s situation with the Gunners and the forward momentum of his career.
Lewis-Skelly broke through into *ARSENAL*’s senior side during the 2024–25 season, earning praise for his technical ability and creative output from left-back. However, this term has seen him slip down the pecking order under Mikel Arteta, with Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapié preferred at left-back, limiting his appearances in the Premier League.
Reports from Sports Mole suggest that he has struggled for consistent minutes and hasn’t featured since mid-February, reinforcing speculation over his long-term future at the Emirates.
In recent weeks, agents representing Lewis-Skelly have reportedly offered his services to Manchester United, who are in the market for left-back reinforcements ahead of next season.
United’s interest is partly driven by uncertainty around the future of incumbent defenders, with Tyrell Malacia expected to exit and Luke Shaw approaching the latter stages of his contract. Lewis-Skelly’s versatility and England U21 experience reportedly make him an appealing target for the Old Trafford club
‘I think Arsenal would sell him now,’ Smith told BestBettingSites. ‘I mean, they could make a good profit given that he’s an academy player.
‘Two players ahead of him at ARSENAL are Calafiori and Hincapie, who are better defenders. A bit like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Lewis-Skelly is not such a good defender.
‘So, United buying him, that’ll be interesting. I mean, look, who’s going to be the manager at United? Maybe he’s going to have a say in that But Lewis-Skelly, that’s his best role, coming into that midfield. Luke Shaw has been really steady for United at left-back. He’s had a good season, ever-present.
‘So, it’ll be interesting to see whether Manchester United go for him. I think Arsenal would sell him to United, in all fairness.’
Why a Move Could Make Sense
From Lewis-Skelly’s perspective, a switch to Manchester United could provide the regular senior football he has been denied this season. Consistent playing time at a club with clear needs at left-back could be crucial for his development — both on the pitch and in raising his profile internationally.
For Arsenal, selling Lewis-Skelly could also make financial sense. The club could realise significant transfer funds for a player whose game time has stagnated, helping balance the books or reinvest in areas of greater immediate need.
However, letting a homegrown talent leave — particularly to a domestic rival — carries risks, both in terms of fan backlash and missing out on the long-term rewards should he fulfil his potential elsewhere. Future seasons will reveal whether this potential transfer proves a pragmatic decision or a misstep in Arsenal’s youth development strategy.
MORGAN RODGERS CHANCE
Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers is reportedly open to leaving Villa Park this summer, with several of England’s top-flight clubs lining up to secure his signature, according to a href=”https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/38705371/morgan-rogers-aston-villa-chelsea-liverpool-arsenal-man-utd/” target=”_blank”>The Sun.
The 23-year-old England international has enjoyed a breakout campaign in the Premier League, contributing consistently in goals and assists and attracting attention across the division. Villa, meanwhile, could be open to a sale amid financial and sporting considerations, with a transfer fee expected to exceed £80 million and potentially challenge the club’s record sale mark.
Reports suggest that ARSENAL, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool are among the clubs interested in securing Rogers’s signature when the transfer window opens.
A move away from Villa would come less than a year after Rogers committed to a long-term contract, underlining significant interest from the game’s elite. Sources report that Rogers wants to consistently compete for major honours and that all parties have recognised this summer as an appropriate juncture for a potential exit.
Villa have spent the season pushing for European qualification, but Rogers’s desire to feature regularly at the highest level — particularly in Champions League football — is believed to be a key motivator. Interest from the Premier League’s biggest clubs reflects his form and versatility, with managers keen to deploy his creativity and goal-threat from midfield.
Which Club Could Be Best for Rogers?
ARSENAL – A move to the Emirates could offer Rogers a platform to develop under a progressive manager while playing in a system that emphasises attacking football. Arsenal’s consistent presence in European competitions might align well with his ambition to compete for silverware regularly.
Manchester United – United’s long history and global stature make them an attractive destination, but recent inconsistencies at Old Trafford could mean a more transitional project. Rogers might see more pressure to deliver immediately, though he would be a central figure in their rebuilding process.
Chelsea – Stamford Bridge presents an intriguing opportunity, particularly if Chelsea maintain stability after a period of squad overhaul. Rogers could flourish as a key creative outlet, but competition for places remains high and managerial changes could impact continuity.
Liverpool – If Liverpool are indeed planning for midfield evolution and offensive reinforcements, Rogers could thrive in a side with Champions League pedigree and a strong tactical identity. His work rate and forward instincts might suit the high-energy attacking play often favoured at Anfield.
His choice could define not just a summer transfer battle but the next major chapter in his rise in English football.
