Arsenal are reportedly considering two transfer targets which could indicate Myles Lewis-Skelly no longer has a future at the Emirates Stadium.
The talented young left-back had a superb breakthrough season last term, but hasn’t featured as often this time around, with the likes of Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie both picked ahead of him.
It now appears that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is considering another signing to potentially push Lewis-Skelly even further down the pecking order.
According to the SunArsenal are interested in Newcastle’s Tino Livramento, while the north London giants have also been linked with Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi by Fabrizio Romano on YouTube.
Could Myles Lewis-Skelly leave Arsenal?
It would be surprising to see Arsenal drop Lewis-Skelly so soon after his memorable campaign, but he doesn’t seem to be living up to expectations.
The 19-year-old clearly has plenty of talent, but he remains inexperienced, and perhaps Arsenal are concerned about how fielding too many young players could affect their chances of crossing the finish line in their quest for major trophies.
There were rumors that Chelsea were interested in Lewis-Skelly, but these were shut down by Football Insider.
Should Arsenal trust their young players more?
Interestingly, Arsenal have also given Ethan Nwaneri significantly less playing time this season than last season.
The 18-year-old has also shown huge potential, but appears to be struggling with competition in Arteta’s squad.
Many Arsenal fans will, however, think that Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly are good enough to play more often, and they would surely like to see these homegrown talents get more of a chance.
After all, Bukayo Saka is now one of the star names in this team after initially leaving the club’s academy.
