The transfer market could see an unexpected move for Myles Lewis-Skelly. According to The Guardian, the 19-year-old Arsenal left-back has reportedly been offered to Manchester United in a deal that could be worth around €50 million. This comes as the Gunners look to recoup some of the investment made in signing Bruno Guimarães.
Chelsea has also been informed of the English international's availability, though it remains unclear whether the London club intends to pursue the player.
Lewis-Skelly saw relatively limited action last season, making five Premier League starts and featuring in 36 games across all competitions, despite being part of Mikel Arteta's title-winning squad. In the Champions League, he played in 10 matches during the London club's run to the final, starting in eight of them.
The young full-back signed a five-year contract with Arsenal last summer, but could now be available for a fee in the region of €50 million. This figure aligns with the level of investment Manchester United has made in the current transfer window, following the signings of Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
However, the Red Devils' priority for the position remains Newcastle's Lewis Hall. But the St. James' Park club is unwilling to facilitate the 21-year-old full-back's departure, especially after already losing Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal, Sandro Tonali to Tottenham, and Anthony Gordon to Barcelona.
In this scenario, Lewis-Skelly emerges as a significant alternative for Manchester United, with the added benefit of allowing Arsenal to quickly recover a substantial portion of the investment made in another major deal.
