Manchester United and Chelsea have reportedly both decided against signing Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer.Despite some surprise talk of the 19-year-old being available for £45m, it seems the Red Devils and the Blues are not expected to pursue this deal.Reports emerged yesterday of Lewis-Skelly being offered to Man Utd and Chelsea via intermediaries, but they’ve now supposedly rejected this opportunity.That’s according to the Telegraph, who add that Lewis-Skelly himself also wants to stay and fight for his place at Arsenal this season.The England international can play at left-back or midfield, and has long been regarded as one of the most exciting prospects coming up through Arsenal’s academy, so Gunners fans will be glad to hear this story doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.What next for Myles Lewis-Skelly at Arsenal?Lewis-Skelly first broke into the Arsenal first-team in 2024/25, and put in some really impressive performances at left-back, quickly earning himself a call-up to the senior England national team.However, with the presence of both Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie on that left-hand side, Lewis-Skelly played less often last season and had to wait for his chance to get a run of games.When that run of games came, it was actually in midfield, and Lewis-Skelly looked hugely impressive in that position too, starting key games for Mikel Arteta’s side in their successful title run-in, and in the Champions League final.Want more CaughtOffside coverage?
