Arsenal Opens Door to Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly Sales

Arsenal is considering offers for two of its promising young players, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly, potentially opening the door for their departures. The club will evaluate any bids received to determine if they meet the necessary criteria for a sale.

Nwaneri, 19, had a loan spell at Olympique Marseille last season where he struggled to make a significant impact. In contrast, Lewis-Skelly earned opportunities at Arsenal, even starting in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. However, his role has become less clear.

“

There are many rumors regarding our players, and I cannot stop other clubs from being interested. I think Myles had a fantastic end to the season and has started this one very well. Ethan has had a great preseason, and now it's a matter of looking at what opportunities there are and what can help both of them in their careers to continue growing.

Manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly not fully convinced by Lewis-Skelly's abilities as a left-back, his natural position. While he has shown better performance in central midfield, that area of the squad is now highly competitive, especially after the recent signing of Bruno Guimaraes.

He added, "We are not actively looking to sell our academy players, but if the right opportunity comes along and it is good for them and for the team, we will consider it."
