Chelsea have reportedly made an enquiry over Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly, according to Sky Sports, though the Gunners are said to be reluctant to sell to a direct rival they could be battling for top honours with this season.
The teenager was already linked with a move to Stamford Bridge back in January, while Manchester United are understood to be long-standing admirers of the young full-back too.
Arsenal's stance, per the report, remains firm — they have no desire to strengthen a fellow title challenger by cashing in on one of their own academy graduates. The club have already been busy reshaping their squad this summer, having brought in Brentford's Kristoffer Ayoade-linked business as part of their wider recruitment plans, though Lewis-Skelly's situation appears separate from any incoming deals.
For now, no formal negotiations are believed to have progressed beyond Chelsea's initial approach, and Arsenal's resistance suggests any deal is unlikely to materialise easily, with the north London club seemingly intent on keeping hold of one of their most promising young talents amid growing interest from two of the Premier League's heavyweights.
