As Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly is linked with a determination to Manchester United, Sports Mole's Site Coordinator Ben Knapton discusses the imaginable deal.

Ben Knapton, Site Coordinator: "A fearless and adaptable player"

Manchester United are reportedly investigating a daze transportation for Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly, with this 1 having been reported implicit the weekend. 

There person been nary authoritative talks, nary bid, and nary player-to-club contact, with Man United simply assessing the feasibility of the deal. 

Man United’s involvement was archetypal reported rather a fewer months ago, and it present seems that interest is really concrete. From an Arsenal perspective, I emotion Lewis-Skelly, and I deliberation each Arsenal fans watching this volition agree. 

There is the Hale End connection, of course, which is truthful important for immoderate Arsenal fan, but helium is besides specified a fearless and adaptable player. 

He tin play near backmost and centre midfield, and towards the extremity of past season, erstwhile helium got backmost into the squad and started successful the Champions League final, helium was playing much arsenic a cardinal figure. 

I tin honestly deliberation of precise fewer players who are amended astatine winning fouls than Myles Lewis-Skelly close now. Interestingly, erstwhile helium came done astatine Hale End he was coming done arsenic much of a antiaircraft midfielder. 

He got his accidental astatine near backmost 2 seasons agone acknowledgment to Riccardo Calafiori’s wounded problems. Then with the Arsenal signing of Hincapie, that pushed him further down the near backmost pecking order. 

Towards the extremity of the season, Martin Zubimendi’s legs had basically gone, and Lewis-Skelly, overmuch fresher, capitalised on that. Arteta has ever talked up his attitude, arsenic helium ne'er complains and conscionable gets connected with it. He loves playing for Arsenal. 

His declaration renewal was astir this clip past year, erstwhile they had that beauteous video of him walking retired onto the Emirates transportation with his gran.

The full household was there, Ian Wright included. He is Arsenal done and through. 

He has missed retired astatine this World Cup, but astatine conscionable 19 years aged determination are truthful galore World Cups and Euros inactive to come. Norgaard looks acceptable to spell to Everton, and by the clip this goes out that whitethorn already person been confirmed. 

Things move very fast in the transportation market. If Arsenal bash get Guimaraes in, they person him alongside Rice and Zubimendi in midfield, with Merino backmost astatine afloat fittingness and another option for that near eight role. 

Even though Lewis-Skelly loves Arsenal, determination mightiness travel a time where he feels helium needs to look astatine moving, adjacent if it means going to a large rival. 

There person been tons of Arsenal players who person moved to Man United implicit the years, thing to travel backmost to shortly. 

Looking astatine wherever Lewis-Skelly mightiness play astatine Man United, helium tin play near backmost oregon halfway mid, 2 positions Man United are known to beryllium looking to strengthen. 

They are looking for contention and screen for Luke Shaw connected the near side. They person signed Santos and Tielemans this summer, but determination is anticipation from fans that a 3rd midfielder volition inactive travel in, a Tchouameni-type player.
