Myles Lewis-Skelly Offered to Manchester United and Chelsea

Myles Lewis-Skelly has reportedly been offered to Chelsea and Manchester United after falling out of favor at Arsenal. The 19-year-old Englishman is seeing his first-team chances diminish under Mikel Arteta, who recently signed Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimarães for £75 million.

Arsenal will now look to balance their books, and the England international has been offered to both Chelsea and Manchester United. The Gunners' academy product started only five Premier League games last season as Ricardo Calafiori cemented his place as Arteta's first-choice left-back.

He still saw playing time in cup competitions, making a total of 36 appearances in a season where Arsenal clinched their first title in 22 years. However, his future appears uncertain, and he may be forced to seek a transfer to secure regular first-team football.

Lewis-Skelly has been on Chelsea's radar for some time, having emerged as a top talent. Arsenal would find it difficult to resist an attractive offer from the Blues if they make a move for the youngster.

Lewis-Skelly can also play as a central midfielder – a position he started in Arsenal's Champions League loss to PSG. Despite his uncertain place in the squad, he has been actively involved in pre-season preparations, including the 3-1 loss to Real Betis and the 3-2 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.

However, opportunities in midfield will be scarce once Guimarães, Mikel Merino, Declan Rice, and Martin Zubimendi return to the squad.

At Chelsea, an opportunity could open up for him at left-back after the Blues sold Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid for £51 million. Xabi Alonso's side brought in Pep Chavarría as his replacement, but Lewis-Skelly could provide significant competition.

United could also benefit from a new left-back, as Michael Carrick seeks a long-term successor to Luke Shaw. The Red Devils have been linked with Lewis Hall from Newcastle, but a transfer has yet to materialize.

Lewis-Skelly made his breakthrough at Arsenal during the 2024-25 season, briefly establishing himself as the team's primary left-back. He featured in 39 matches that season, scoring once, and also earned his first call-up to the England national team under Thomas Tuchel in 2025.
