Arsenal reluctant to sell Lewis-Skelly to rival amid Chelsea enquiry

Wait 5 sec.

Arsenal do not want to sell Myles Lewis-Skelly to a direct rival, amid an enquiry from Chelsea.Chelsea have made a fresh enquiry into Lewis-Skelly’s availability, following Arsenal’s signing of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United. The 19-year-old struggled for regular minutes last season, though found himself back in favour across the run-in, and started the Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.However, the arrival of Guimaraes has added another block to first-team football, while Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori have been preferred at left-back.Sky Sports are reporting that Chelsea have now made an approach to discuss a potential deal, following initial interest in January. Manchester United are also admirers of Lewis-Skelly, whose ability to cover left-back and central midfield could ease concerns over depth in both positions. As an academy product, the teenager’s sale would also represent pure profit for Arsenal, who remain keen to sign a statement left-winger this summer.However, there’s reluctance from the Gunners to do business with Chelsea – or any other direct rival – with regards to Lewis-Skelly.Read – Every Premier League kit released ahead of 2026/27 seasonFantasy Premier League – 69 classic FPL team names to use ahead of 2026/27See Also – The biggest transfer fees ever paid for teenagers in football historyFollow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTokThe post Arsenal reluctant to sell Lewis-Skelly to rival amid Chelsea enquiry appeared first on The Football Faithful.
