Arteta Coy over Lewis-Skelly's Arsenal Future After 'Emotional' Celebration
- Manchester United and Chelsea have both turned down the opportunity to sign Arsenal player Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer. Intermediaries offered the 19-year-old to both clubs, but neither side pursued the £45m-rated midfielder.
- Arsenal value the academy graduate at £45m, though Lewis-Skelly remains determined to stay and fight for his place at the Emirates Stadium. He first broke into the first team during the 2024/25 campaign.

- Chelsea, having spent more than £300m this summer under head coach Xabi Alonso, showed no interest in discussing Lewis-Skelly. The club remains focused on rebuilding to challenge for the Champions League and major honors this season.
