Reports of Chelsea being offered the chance to sign Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly have left Blues fans crafting what they see as the perfect swap deal to bring him in.
Chelsea have been big fans of the Arsenal youngster for a while now, and plenty have been alerted to the possibility of them signing him this summer.
The Blues are still potentially needing to sign another midfielder if Enzo Fernandez leaves the club, with Enzo Maresca’s Manchester City leading the potential suitors in the race to sign him.

One user said: “Neto for MLS swap deal we will be there.”
Another added: “100%. Hopefully use him in a deal for Neto.”
A third stated: “If we can offload neto bring MLS it’d be the best business we’ve done in a while depending on fees.”
Finally, one user said: “MLS makes a lot of sense, especially *IF* if involves Neto going the other way.”
It has been reported that Lewis-Skelly wants to continue his career at the Emirates, although he will struggle for minutes following the addition of Bruno Guimaraes.

Pedro Neto has role to play at Chelsea this season
Many supporters are quick to push for Neto to leave the club, however there is a distinct role he can play for the Blues next season.
Xabi Alonso looks set to go into his first campaign as a Premier League manager with wing-backs, and he used Neto in one of these roles during the pre-season victory against AC Milan.
Given these players are being given licence to attack, Neto could be the perfect candidate for the Blues in this position.
His work rate gives him an advantage ahead of the likes of Jamie Gittens and Estevao Willian, who may need to slot in further forward if they want to play this season.
