Arsenal Chief Addresses Myles Lewis-Skelly's Future Amid Recent Chelsea Transfer Links
Arsenal chief Richard Garlick says the club would consider a sale if the right offer arrives, while Manchester United and Chelsea monitor the 19-year-old.
Arsenal chief executive officer Richard Garlick confirmed the club would "consider" selling Myles Lewis-Skelly if the "right opportunity" arises, despite the 19-year-old homegrown talent's clear desire to remain at the Emirates Stadium.
Manchester United and Chelsea are monitoring the situation, with United scouting the teenager as a left-back option following Arsenal's recent acquisition of midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle.
Valued at near $61 million, the Hale End graduate helped the Gunners secure a 3-0 victory against Manchester City in Sunday's Community Shield, showcasing his tactical range.
Manager Mikel Arteta dismissed transfer speculation, praising Lewis-Skelly's emotional connection to the club after the teenager scored against Como last Wednesday and celebrated by kissing the badge.
With four years remaining on his contract, the England international is unlikely to depart easily, though Arsenal's hierarchy has not ruled out a sale before the September 1 deadline.
