What happened. Arsenal have offered Myles Lewis-Skelly to Manchester United and Chelsea, and the 19-year-old has made it clear he prefers a midfield role.
- Lewis-Skelly sees himself as a midfielder, not a left-back.
- His minutes at Arsenal are limited, and Bruno Guimaraes' arrival could reduce them further.
- He signed a new contract last summer but may move to another Premier League club.
United and Chelsea have been sounded out, but no decision on a move has been made yet.
