Manchester United have reportedly made a fresh inquiry for highly-rated Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly as the transfer window nears its close.
Transfer insider Indy Kaila revealed the latest development, with a reliable source at Arsenal confirming the renewed interest from Old Trafford. Lewis-Skelly, who has impressed as a versatile talent capable of playing left-back and central midfield, is considered one of Arsenal's brightest academy prospects.
While Arsenal is not eager to part ways with the young England international, they would reportedly only consider a sale if Manchester United presented a significantly premium offer that exceeds his current market value. Despite this stance, United remain optimistic about their chances of striking a deal that satisfies Arsenal's valuation.
Old Trafford officials see Lewis-Skelly as a player who could immediately bolster their midfield and provide a long-term solution at full-back. Rumors suggest that a bid exceeding £50 million might be enough to persuade Arsenal to reconsider their position.
Historically, direct transfers between Manchester United and Arsenal at the senior level have been rare. However, in recent years, the focus has shifted towards youth recruitment. United has previously signed several promising talents from Arsenal's academy. A successful move for Lewis-Skelly would represent one of the most significant direct transfers between the two Premier League giants in recent memory.
