Myles Lewis-Skelly tipped for Gunners departure
Arsenal have opened the door to a potential sale of their academy graduate after shelling out a whopping £75 million on Bruno Guimaraes.
It remains to be seen what kind of fee they would expect for Lewis-Skelly, with Transfermarkt valuing the 19-year-old in the region of £38.5 million.

Although he played a more prominent role towards the end of the North London outfit’s title-winning campaign, the youngster was limited to only 15 appearances in the league last term, only five of which were as a starter.
Lewis-Skelly accumulated 698 minutes on the pitch in total, and finished the term with a 92 per cent pass accuracy rate and 80 per cent dribble completion rate.
Why are Arsenal open to selling Lewis-Skelly?
Throughout Arsenal’s journey to the Champions League final, where they were eventually defeated by reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain on penalties, the full-back made 10 appearances and averaged a rating of 7.14 on Fotmob.
He struggled to nail down a starting spot due to the form of Riccardo Calafiori, as well as the addition of Bayer Leverkusen loanee Piero Hincapie last summer.

Lewis-Skelly’s record across all competitions in 2025/2026
While Mikel Arteta would undoubtedly rather keep hold of the prospect, whom Declan Rice hailed as a ‘special’ talent, there will be an acceptance that Lewis-Skelly is good enough and ready to feature week in and week out for a top club, and he’s unlikely to do so at the Emirates.
United have been credited with interest in him over the last year, but their prioritisation of the midfield means a deal may prove too costly for them at this stage of the transfer window.
