Arsenal is prepared to consider offers for young defender Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer. According to journalist Samuel Luckhurst, the London club has set an asking price of at least £50 million for the 19-year-old.
Manchester United has emerged as an interested party, as the club continues to search for reinforcements at left-back before the transfer window closes. However, the Red Devils currently view the valuation set by Arsenal as excessive, which has stalled initial discussions.
Lewis-Skelly made 36 appearances across all competitions last season. While he started many games on the bench, his role grew significantly toward the end of the campaign. He earned the trust of manager Mikel Arteta, notably starting in the Champions League final and providing four assists throughout the season.
Negotiations are unlikely to progress unless Manchester United agrees to meet the financial demands set by the London side. The situation remains in flux as the deadline approaches.
