Overview
- Football Insider reports Arsenal have no plans to sanction a January exit for Myles Lewis-Skelly despite interest from Everton and West Ham, with depth cited as the key factor.
- Mick Brown told Football Insider that Mikel Arteta wants two first-team options in every position and that Lewis-Skelly would step in immediately if injuries hit.
- After a breakthrough last season, Lewis-Skelly has fallen behind Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie, starting four games across competitions and none in the Premier League.
- Thomas Tuchel left him out of England’s senior squad due to limited club minutes, and The Athletic reported he was not moved to the U21s because he is viewed as a senior international.
- Journalist Sami Mokbel has also said Arsenal are unlikely to approve a loan, pointing to Calafiori’s injury record and the club’s need for reliable cover during a congested schedule.
