Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta staring
Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly as the Gunners consider a sale, according to Football London.
Lewis-Skelly has played in multiple positions during his time with Arsenal, starting off at left back when he burst onto the scene.
The 19-year-old can also play in midfield, and his versatility made him a useful option for Mikel Arteta last season.
Despite their London rivalry, it's actually been fairly common for players to move between Arsenal and Chelsea.
The last player to do so was Kepa Arrizabalaga, while Kai Havertz also made the switch in 2023.

Chelsea offered Arsenal transfer

According to a report from Football London, Chelsea have been offered the opportunity to sign Arsenal's Lewis-Skelly. The Gunners could be tempted into selling the youngster following the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will make the move to secure his signature this summer, but he has been on their radar for a while.
It's believed that if Chelsea do make a good offer for Lewis-Skelly in the summer transfer window, the Gunners would find it difficult to turn it down.
The 19-year-old could struggle for game time at Arsenal heading into the new season, and there's no doubt he's far from a guaranteed starter.

It wouldn't be a guarantee that Lewis-Skelly would come to Chelsea and be a guaranteed starter in their side, but there's no doubt he could be strong cover in multiple positions.
The Arsenal youngster, as mentioned, can play at left-back or in midfield, and at the age of 19, he's far from reaching his full potential.
Having come through the Arsenal Academy, it will be interesting to see whether Lewis-Skelly would be keen on a move to one of their London rivals.
There's no doubt the England international will want to be playing regular first-team football in the near future. If the Gunners are unable to offer him that, a departure might be considered.
