Arsenal has reportedly made 19-year-old defender Myles Lewis-Skelly available for transfer, with Manchester United and Chelsea identified as potential suitors. The move is being framed by reports as a strategic decision by Arsenal to generate funds following their significant £75 million investment in Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimarães.

Lewis-Skelly, who signed a five-year contract with Arsenal last summer, saw limited playing time during the 2025-26 season. He recorded only five league starts and 36 total appearances across all competitions. Despite his limited starting role, he was part of the squad that secured the Premier League title under manager Mikel Arteta last season.

While Manchester United has been approached as a potential solution for their left-back requirements, the level of interest from Chelsea remains uncertain. Reports suggest that while Chelsea has been notified of the player's availability, it is not yet clear if they intend to pursue a formal bid. The potential transfer fee for the young defender has not been finalized, though speculation regarding his valuation is beginning to circulate within the industry.
