Overview
- Lewis-Skelly has made seven Premier League substitute appearances totaling 86 minutes this season and was left out of Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad with a warning to secure more game time.
- First-choice left-back Riccardo Calafiori is nursing a hip issue with Italy, set to miss the Moldova qualifier as he works toward a return against Norway, potentially opening short-term minutes.
- Arsenal Insider reports the club has no plans to loan Lewis-Skelly in January, and Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth says departures are unlikely unless there is a serious injury or unique market opportunity.
- CaughtOffside, citing journalist Indy Kaila, reports Arsenal would only consider a sale if a ‘substantial bid’ arrives, with Premier League sides understood to have asked about a loan.
- Pundits are split, with Darren Bent recommending Everton if he moves and Jamie O’Hara urging the player to ask Mikel Arteta for a January loan while arguing he would start for Liverpool.
