A top-flight side is keen on Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly and rumors say he’d get a direct shot at breaking into their senior squad if he joins.
While still just 19, his progress has caught serious attention lately. Because of that, talks have started behind the scenes.
Though nothing’s confirmed yet, multiple sources back up the growing speculation. So far, no official bid has been made, but interest is definitely heating up.
As things stand, the player remains focused on his current duties. Yet rumours suggest a move could happen before the window shuts.
The club views him as someone to grow over time, while thinking they can shape him into an essential piece, particularly because they’re short on solid options at full-back.
Lewis-Skelly’s seen as a top youth hope for Arsenal – yet finding consistent playtime at the Emirates hasn’t been easy.
This is why the Premier League team’s ready to give him a way out, along with a clearer position – exactly what Arsenal haven’t managed so far.
According to The Daily Briefing, journalist Mark Brus revealed:
“Chelsea very much want to make their pitch to Lewis-Skelly, they’d love to bring him in and make him a key player, something that’s not guaranteed for him at Arsenal.”
A player of his talent won’t stay benched forever. On top of that, Arsenal’s squad is packed with top players, so youngsters will struggle to get regular playtime.
If Arsenal aim to hold on to him, they’ll have to offer real chances sooner or later. Otherwise, he might look elsewhere.
🚨 Chelsea are ready to try and convince Myles Lewis-Skelly to make the controversial move away from Arsenal.
They believe they can offer him more playing time with minutes in the midfield rather than just cover at left-back for Marc Cucurella.
