What happened. Arsenal reportedly invited offers for Myles Lewis-Skelly from Chelsea and Manchester United, but the club denies this. An intermediary is believed to have told both clubs the player is available at the right price.
- UEFA spending rules by calendar year push Arsenal to sell.
- Academy product means pure profit for the balance sheet.
- Price would need to be considerably higher than £45m.
Arsenal may sell other players first, but if none leave, Lewis-Skelly's exit becomes more likely.
