"Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly could leave this January, with several Premier League sides eyeing up a move. That's according to new reports, with the teenager having started just one match all season for the Gunners in the Champions League following his breakout campaign last term. With Riccardo Calafiori starting for Arsenal ahead of Lewis-Skelly since August, the Hale End academy graduate has found game time harder to come by, with Mikel Arteta seemingly moving away from inverted full-backs as his tactics evolve."
"After Lewis-Skelly was omitted from Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad in favour of fellow youngster Nico O'Reilly, the German explained that the Arsenal full-back hadn't played enough of late. Not only has Calafiori been holding down the fort at left-back, but new buy Piero Hincapie was favoured in the spot last week when Arsenal won 3-0 away at Slavia Prague, calling Lewis-Skelly's role in this squad into question."
"The report notes that there are no pressing financial constraints in N5 but that the sale of such an academy graduate would represent pure profit for the Gunners in terms of Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). While Lewis-Skelly rose through Arsenal's youth ranks as a midfielder, it may be tricky for him to establish himself in that position, too, given the likes of Declan Rice, Ebere Eze and Mikel Merino ahead of him. The 19-year-old has only managed 87 minutes of Premier League action since signing a new five-year deal over the summer"
Myles Lewis-Skelly faces potential departure from Arsenal in January amid interest from several Premier League clubs due to limited playing time. The 19-year-old has started only once this season in the Champions League after a breakthrough last term. Riccardo Calafiori has been preferred at left-back since August, while new signing Piero Hincapie has also been selected, coinciding with tactical shifts away from inverted full-backs. National team omission was attributed to insufficient recent minutes. Arsenal do not have pressing financial constraints, but selling an academy product would represent pure profit under Profit and Sustainability Rules.
