Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly has been offered to Manchester United and Chelsea, according to football.london.
The 19-year-old had a difficult 2025/26 season with the Gunners, but he became a vital player during the final month.
With Martin Zubimendi’s dip in form, Lewis-Skelly stepped up alongside Declan Rice in the heart of the Gunners’ midfield.
Despite this, his future has once again become a topic of speculation after the arrival of star midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.
Football.london claim that Arsenal could be tempted to sell Lewis-Skelly after the big-money acquisition of the Brazilian.
Arsenal want to recoup the £75 million paid to Newcastle United for Guimaraes. Lewis-Skelly has been offered to both United and Chelsea.
The Guardian add that the Gunners graduate is valued at around £45m.
The youngster had a brilliant breakout season with the Gunners in 2024/25. He became the regular choice in the left-back role ahead of Riccardo Calafiori.
However, the previous campaign was a mental test for the Englishman, having fallen behind Piero Hincapie and Calafiori for the defensive position.
There were suggestions from some fans to play Lewis-Skelly in midfield, but manager Mikel Arteta largely resisted the prospect until the start of May.
The decision proved worthwhile as the 19-year-old was brilliant in the centre of the park alongside Rice as Arsenal went on to lift a long-awaited league title.
Lewis-Skelly now faces another challenge with Guimaraes’ arrival. The former Newcastle United captain is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI.
This has ignited speculation regarding his future, but it has emerged that the story has not come from the player’s side, and there is a sense of confusion.
Lewis-Skelly himself seems content to stay and compete for his spot, as per The Athletic.
The speculation has probably been ignited through intermediaries working with interested clubs.
We believe Arsenal have no reason to part ways with one of their most prized assets.
They have plenty of outcasts such as Reiss Nelson, Fabio Vieira and potentially Gabriel Jesus to offload to secure extra transfer funds and reduce the wage bill for possible new signings.
The reported £45m fee does not match Lewis-Skelly’s potential. With the inflated transfer deals this summer, only a £65-70m package should prompt Arsenal to consider selling him.
