Several Premier League clubs are closely following Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly’s situation as the January transfer window approaches. The 19-year-old left-back has found limited playing time under Mikel Arteta, featuring only 87 minutes in league fixtures this season.
Due to his lack of action, Lewis-Skelly has fallen out of England’s current plans. National team coach Thomas Tuchel left him out of the squads to face Serbia and Albania, advising him to play more regularly to strengthen his case for World Cup selection.

Although he is now considered a third-choice left-back behind Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie, rival clubs are monitoring his situation with interest. Arsenal, however, are reluctant to sell, having recently extended the player’s contract for another five years.
Young defender Myles Lewis-Skelly may seek more playing time elsewhere as interest grows among Premier League clubs, though Arsenal aim to keep him long-term.
