The 19-year-old has made 67 appearances for the Gunners across competitions, but has been unable to retain consistent gametime. Mikel Arteta has preferred Riccardo Calafiori in the left back position over Lewis-Skelly, leading to his lack of game time at the Emirates.  <\/p>\n<p><template id=\"template__newsletter-inline-banner-form-combo-widget\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<p><img id=\"subscribe-img\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>According to the BBC (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UtdDistrict\/status\/2042269457716781166?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">UTD District<\/a>), Arsenal are open to hearing offers about Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer. The academy graduate has been linked to Manchester United in recent months, as the Red Devils are hunting the market to sign a new left-back. Some of their other targets for the position include Newcastle United star Lewis Hall and Eintracht Frankfurt&#8217;s Nathaniel Brown, and Lewis-Kelly could be a cheaper option than both. <\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Lewis-Skelly&#8217;s current contract with the Gunners runs until June 2030, with his estimated market value being around \u20ac35 million. With Arsenal also looking to bring new signings in the summer, they will look to offload certain players. The academy graduate, alongside on-loan Ethan Nwaneri, is high on their list of players on sale. <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Alan Smith claims Manchester United-linked Myles Lewis Skelly is expected to leave Arsenal this summer<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sk-app-thumbnail\" alt=\"Myles Lewis-Skelly - Source: Getty\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1260\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg 1920w\" alt=\"Myles Lewis-Skelly - Source: Getty\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2026\/04\/0df09-17757584820639-1920.jpg?w=640\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,&lt;svg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201920%201260%22&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;\"\/><figcaption>Myles Lewis-Skelly &#8211; Source: Getty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In an interview on BestBettingSites, former footballer Alan Smith claimed Myles Lewis-Skelly could leave Arsenal this summer. He said (via <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/03\/04\/arsenal-star-compared-wayne-rooney-will-probably-sold-this-summer-27226643\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Metro UK<\/a>):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It\u2019s been a really difficult season for Myles Lewis-Skelly, hasn\u2019t it? He\u2019s behind two players, really, for the left-back slot. If he did get a chance, I\u2019d quite like to see him in midfield. That\u2019s his position.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Just see how he fares there. He\u2019s not the best of defenders, so it suits him better in midfield. He\u2019s really creative. I think it\u2019ll probably be a shop window for him. I think there\u2019s every chance he might leave in the summer. We\u2019ll see on that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Myles Lewis-Skelly has started only one Premier League game this season, although he made it to the starting XI in six Champions League clashes. The youngster had an exceptional debut 2024-25 season, making 42 appearances across competitions. <\/p>\n<p>Lewis-Skelly was a starter in 16 Premier League games and was also stellar in the UCL quarter-finals vs Real Madrid. Following his performances, Jamie Carragher compared the youngster to Manchester United legends Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen as well. The 19-year-old is still expected to be a regular for England and must look for a suitable move elsewhere to gain more game time. Manchester United could be a great fit, since the Red Devils are in dire need of a new left-back. <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Thank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Pratyasha Sarkar<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United has reportedly been handed a boost in their pursuit of Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer.
