Myles Lewis-Skelly has been offered to Chelsea for £45m (Getty) Chelsea have rejected the chance to sign Myles Lewis-Skelly from Arsenal, according to reports. The 19-year-old started just five Premier League games last season but a strong end to the campaign saw Mikel Arteta select him in a midfield role for Arsenal’s defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. However, Lewis-Skelly’s hopes of securing more minutes in Arsenal’s midfield will be dented by the club’s decision to sign Bruno Guimaraes in a £75 million deal from Newcastle United. According to The Telegraph, Chelsea have been given the opportunity to sign Lewis-Skelly for £45m following an approach from an intermediary.

The report adds that Manchester United were also contacted but they ‘flatly turned down’ the chance to sign Lewis-Skelly from Arsenal. Myles Lewis-Skelly started five games during Arsenal’s Premier League title-winning campaign (Getty) Meanwhile, The Athletic reports that Lewis-Skelly wants to remain at Arsenal and is focused on securing a regular role under Arteta in the upcoming season. The report adds that Lewis-Skelly is not exploring a move away from Arsenal, while the club are not actively looking to sell the England international. Speaking at the end of last season, Arteta praised Lewis-Skelly’s mentality after he was overlooked for a starting role for the majority of Arsenal’s Premier League title-winning campaign. ‘I’ve been tough on him. He had a spectacular season last year when he jumped into the first team,’ Arteta said. ‘He had some difficult moments after that but he stayed very humble, very focused, very aligned with what we wanted to do, and I knew he was ready. ‘He’s been showing in training every day the opportunities that he had to play. He’s done it and today he really stepped up and I thought he had an incredible performance.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Tottenham Hotspur have stepped up their interest in ex-Arsenal forward Folarin Balogun, as firm action has been taken for the Monaco star. The post ‘Intense Interest’ From Tottenham Hotspur In Ligue 1 Attacker appeared first on Inside Futbol | Latest Football News, Transfer Rumours & Articles.
Spurs are in talks with Monaco over a deal for Folarin Balogun (USSF/Getty Images) Tottenham have opened talks with Monaco over a deal for Folarin Balogun, according to reports in France. Monaco signed Balogun in a £35 million deal from Arsenal three years ago and the 25-year-old has scored 31 goals in 91 games for the Ligue 1 side. Balogun also impressed at the World Cup this summer with three goals in four appearances for the United States. Balogun was also at the centre of controversy at the World Cup after United States President Donald Trump personally called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to ask for the striker’s red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina to be overturned.

Balogun’s one-game World Cup ban was suspended for a year, which allowed him to play in the last-16 stage but the United States were beaten 4-1 by Belgium. According to L’Equipe, Tottenham have now made a move for Balogun ‘in recent hours’ and the Premier League club have ‘laid the groundwork’ for a deal worth €60 million (£51.2m). Folarin Balogun scored 19 goals for Monaco last season. (AFP via Getty) The report adds that Newcastle United and clubs in Spain have also registered their interest in Balogun this summer. Spurs’ move for a new striker comes after Dominic Solanke missed their 1-1 draw with Getafe last Saturday due to an ankle problem. Solanke started just 12 games in all competitions last season after undergoing ankle surgery last September. Roberto De Zerbi has also raised doubt over Richarlison’s future as the Brazilian has just a year left on his contract with Spurs. ‘He’s unbelievable in terms of attitude and behaviour. But, in the end, we have to respect what he wants to do,’ De Zerbi said last week. ‘I didn’t understand well because sometimes he says he wants to stay, sometimes he wants to leave. We have to speak anyway. There is not any problem. He’s a lovely guy.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Myles Lewis-Skelly has been linked with a move away from Arsenal this summer. The 19-year-old has struggled for regular opportunities at the North London club, and he could be sold this summer. According to a report from Sky Sports, Chelsea have made an enquiry for the 19-year-old.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (Picture: Getty) Former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack can’t wrap his head around the Gunners’ decision to sign Illan Meslier from Leeds United earlier this summer. Meslier joined Arsenal on a free transfer in July after his contract at Leeds expired the previous month. The 26-year-old spent six seasons at Elland Road and made a total of 215 appearances in all competitions for the club, while helping the side win two promotions to the Premier League in 2020 and 2025. But Meslier found himself effectively frozen out by Daniel Farke last campaign, failing to make a single first-team appearance after dropping beneath Lucas Perri and Karl Darlow in the pecking order. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. The Frenchman arrived at the Emirates to serve as a backup option behind David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga and made his debut against Girona in a pre-season friendly earlier this month. Meslier’s arrival looks set to force young keeper Tommy Setford out on loan before deadline day, an outcome which has not pleased former Arsenal shot-stopper Stack. ‘Look, he’s experienced, but it’s highly unlikely that you would use him,’ Stack told Metro via Lad Casino. ‘My question is, is there not another goalkeeper at Arsenal Football Club that’s capable of that? Illan Meslier arrived from Leeds United on a free transfer (Picture: Getty) ‘What are they doing at the club that they’re not producing any goalies? They just keep signing goalies. ‘At what point is there going to be an Arsenal goalkeeper that’s going to, not even break through, but I’m talking about being a number three.’ Stack also questioned why Meslier made the move to become a third-choice at such a young age, accusing the Frenchman of ‘throwing the towel in’. ‘I question him, I really do question the goalkeeper,’ he added. Tommy Setford (right) is set to leave on loan (Picture: Getty) ‘The reason I say that is that he’s got Premier League experience, he’s played countless games in the Premier League, he’s got bundles of experience, been at Leeds for I don’t know how many years. ‘He’s played loads of games, and maybe he doesn’t have that burning desire to go and play games and put himself under pressure. Maybe that’s what he’s after. ‘But I’m just surprised with someone of Meslier’s quality that he’s decided to almost chuck the towel in and be a number three.’ Alongside Meslier, Arsenal turned Piero Hincapie’s loan move from Bayer Leverkusen into a permanent deal, while Christos Tzolis and Bruno Guimaraes have joined from Club Brugge and Newcastle United, respectively. Bruno Guimaraes is Arsenal’s latest summer signing (Picture: PA) And while Arsenal are still eyeing up more signings at left wing and centre-back, Stack believes his former side are still heavy favourites to retain the league title this season. ‘Absolutely, Arsenal will win it,’ Stack said. ‘I think Arsenal will be buzzing after last year, and think it’s a situation now where it’s basically the monkey off their back. ‘They will be going into the season absolutely buzzing, and with the signing of Guimaraes and probably more to come between now and the start of the season, I think they will definitely strengthen. ‘The only concern would be how fatigued some of the players might be after Christmas in the crunch end of the season, when there are so many games in the league, domestic competitions and the Champions League, especially after a summer World Cup. ‘Rotating the squad is going to be key this season, so stopping players getting fatigued and looking tired just requires a big enough squad to make the changes and rotate players effectively. Just keep freshening it up. ‘I fancy Arsenal to go and win it, but I think that it will be a close-run race with Man City, I think City will be close behind them.’ For more stories like this, check our sport
