Chelsea and Manchester United don dey offered the chance to sign Arsenal young star Myles Lewis-Skelly. Dis one na according to reports wey say the two big Premier League clubs don get the opportunity to land the 19-year-old England international.
The chance open after Arsenal complete signing of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United for £75m over the weekend. With Guimaraes don enter midfield, Lewis-Skelly fit see say im chances for regular play don reduce. Source talk say Arsenal don open the door for am to leave.
Lewis-Skelly be product of Arsenal Hale End academy, but im also spend time for Cobham, di Chelsea academy. E sign contract extension last year but e still dey linked with transfer this summer. Di boy play 36 matches for Arsenal last season for all competitions, but only 19 from start.
According to journalist Bob Vincent for Football London, Lewis-Skelly don dey offered to Chelsea and Manchester United. Whether the Blues go make official move still remain to see, but sources say the versatile midfielder don dey on west London club radar for a while. There is sense say if Arsenal receive good offer from Chelsea, di north London club go find am hard to refuse.
Lewis-Skelly naturally be central midfielder but im fit play left-back too. For pre-season, im don start every game as defensive midfielder because Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino and Guimaraes no dey. Im performance mixed, but im still impress for left eight role at end of last season, which even secure am start for Champions League final.
Chelsea don already sign 10 players this summer for over £270m, including pre-agreed deals. At the moment, attention dey more on outgoings, but nothing fit rule out if opportunity arise to add to manager Alonso squad before new season. Chelsea get plenty options for left-back with Pep Chavarria and Jorrel Hato, while midfield get Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Dario Essugo, Valentin Barco and Enzo Fernandez. Enzo Fernandez future still uncertain, but im expected to return to training this week and likely stay for Alonso first season.
Arsenal legend Lee Dixon don talk say im fit swap Lewis-Skelly for Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford. Dixon talk say im probably go do the swap because na about giving am freedom to expand im game elsewhere. Im believe Arteta go be good for Rashford.
With new additions like Piero Hincapie and Bruno Fernandes, Lewis-Skelly fit see say im time for Arsenal don dey small. But im still get big market value, with Transfermarkt value am around €45m. However, Arsenal record for selling players no too high, and e fit be say dem go want pure profit from academy product to balance books.
