Myles Lewis-Skelly wants to stay at Arsenal and is fully focused on establishing himself in Mikel Arteta’s first-team plans for the upcoming season.
The 19-year-old’s performances have attracted interest from elsewhere, but Lewis-Skelly is happy at Arsenal and is not exploring a move away.
Instead, the Arsenal academy graduate’s attention is on the challenge of competing for regular first-team football during the forthcoming campaign. Lewis-Skelly signed a long-term contract with his boyhood club in the summer of 2025.
Lewis-Skelly has started regularly for Arsenal in pre-season, and it’s understood that the club are not actively offering the England international out for sale.
Equally, there are expected to be departures for Arsenal between now and the end of the transfer window, and the club are conscious that they may have to be flexible in their plans.
The academy graduate has been with Arsenal since he was eight years old and broke through to the first-team during the 2024-25 season. Having initially broken through as a left-back, last season saw him claim a starting berth in his preferred position of central midfield.
His form during Arsenal’s title-winning run-in saw him rewarded with a start in the Champions League Final against Paris Saint-Germain.
The London-born player, who has been capped six times by England but was not part of Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad this summer, has made 75 first-team appearances for Arsenal.
