Arsenal set £45m asking price as Lewis-Skelly offered to Manchester United and Chelsea

· Sports GBR

Arsenal have informed Manchester United and Chelsea that they would demand a fee in the region of £45 million to part with Myles Lewis-Skelly, with the left-back offered to United as a potential defensive option.

Chelsea have made a new enquiry about signing the England youth international, though Arsenal are reluctant to sell to a local rival. Lewis-Skelly, who played in last season's Champions League final, made 36 appearances across all competitions in 2025-26 and is tied to a long-term contract signed last summer. A sale would represent pure profit for the Gunners.

United are also pursuing Newcastle's Lewis Hall and RB Leipzig's David Raum as alternative left-back targets. The transfer activity follows Arsenal's £75 million acquisition of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle.
