A high-profile transfer in the Premier League? Two giants pursue Arsenal academy talent
The race for Arsenal's homegrown prospect is reaching a whole new level.
Details: Arsenal midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly has received transfer offers from both Manchester United and Chelsea, according to insiders Bobby Vincent and Tom Canton.
Rumors linking the 19-year-old to these clubs have surfaced before, but the blockbuster signing of Bruno Guimaraes by Arsenal—significantly intensifying competition in the Gunners' midfield—has reignited the battle for the young playmaker.
However, pulling off this move won't be easy for the Premier League powerhouses: last summer, Arsenal already extended Lewis-Skelly's contract, securing him on a new long-term deal.
It's also worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, the young midfielder was regularly called up to Arsenal's senior squad. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €45 million.
