What's happening with Lewis-Skelly's Arsenal future?

Myles Lewis-Skelly is already a hot topic and the season isn't officially under way.

The 19-year-old's long-term future at Arsenal has been debated since he slipped down the pecking order last season - behind Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie - as Arsenal 's third choice left-back.

In his breakthrough season in 2024-25, he quickly developed into one of the best young full-backs in the Premier League, which led to him earning a place in the England squad and becoming the youngest man to score on his Three Lions debut.

The following summer, the academy graduate was rewarded with a new five-year contract. But last season was more difficult.

Arsenal had considered listening to offers for Lewis-Skelly, with club sources indicating in April they would look to recoup a minimum combined £100m for Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri.

But his excellent end-of-season resurgence, in his natural position of centre midfield, may have sparked a rethink over his status during this transfer window.

Lewis-Skelly has been one of the standout performers during pre-season and has started the past two friendlies as the Gunners prepare for the Community Shield against Manchester City on Sunday.

With a number of midfielders returning late from the World Cup, and new signing Bruno Guimaraes still getting used to his new surroundings, Lewis-Skelly could still make another go at becoming a first team regular for the Gunners.
