Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher (Picture: The Overlap) Jamie Carragher can’t understand why Arsenal are considering selling Myles Lewis-Skelly and said it would be a ‘strange’ decision to let the academy graduate leave this summer. Premier League champions Arsenal reportedly offered the 19-year-old England international to both Man United and Chelsea. Lewis-Skelly had a frustrating start to the previous campaign but broke into the team at the business end of the season, becoming the second-youngest Englishman to start a Champions League final when the Gunners lost to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties. However, despite his increased importance to Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are believed to be open to offers after signing Bruno Guimaraes in a £75million deal from Newcastle United.

Additional reports suggest that Lewis-Skelly is keen to remain at Arsenal and fight for his place in the team, and Carragher believes the Gunners would be making a big mistake if they cashed in on the 19-year-old. ‘That’s the thing that was a little bit strange about it,’ he told The Overlap Fan Debate with Sky Bet. ‘It felt almost like Arsenal offered Manchester United Myles Lewis-Skelly. Myles Lewis Skelly has been linked with an Arsenal exit (Picture: Getty) ‘It wasn’t Myles Lewis-Skelly saying, I want to leave, or his people putting something out. That’s where the shock came from, not so much the players’ side of it.’ Carragher continued: ‘I still can’t believe it. Obviously, last season wasn’t great for him for the whole season, but when a young player has already put in performances like I’ve seen him put in at the Bernabeu – maybe over a year or 18 months ago, at left-back, he was running the game at the Bernabeu – and then his performance in the final in central midfield against Paris Saint-Germain. ‘You can’t play at that level unless you’re pretty special at that age. All young players have ups and downs. Last season he didn’t play as much as he probably would have liked. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (Picture: AFP) ‘But his ceiling is so high for the performances he’s already put in as a 20-year-old kid. I couldn’t believe that Arsenal would even think about letting him go. It does feel like a strange one.’ Lewis-Skelly, who is under contract until 2030, scored during Arsenal’s friendly win over Como on Wednesday and celebrated by making the shape of a heart with his hands towards the crowd at the Emirates. But Arteta remained tight-lipped about the midfielder’s future after the game, insisting: ‘I’m not going to talk about any speculation. ‘If there is a speculation about our players, that’s a good sign. That means that we attract attention and they’re doing a good job.’ Elsewhere, Arsenal are still looking to strengthen defensively and in wide forward areas ahead of the new season. The Gunners have made a second approach for Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa, while the latest reports suggest they have also opened talks to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah.

Rather than aiming to merely preserve their top-flight status though, like in the Ashley era, those at the very top insist Newcastle's long-term ambition remains to consistently compete for the biggest trophies. Newcastle sporting director Ross Wilson spoke last week about building a model that "can win", but also one which doesn't lead to Uefa sanctions and the sale of players the club do not want to lose.
Celtic fans, we asked for your views after the signing of Mika Baur and your thoughts on the transfer window as a whole. David: Well, by all accounts that is four class players Celtic have brought in. If one Greg Taylor wants to come back I would be well happy with that.
Kai Rooney and Jacey Carrick are part of a 23-man Manchester United squad that will compete in the prestigious eight-team Otten Cup in Eindhoven this weekend. The pair, both 16, were named among United's first-year scholars this year and will be part of an academy squad that will target all the major under-18 competitions, plus the Under-19 Uefa Youth League, as part of a refocus on junior tournaments for the club's academy. Yuel Helafu and fellow defender Rafe McCormack, who both started May's FA Youth Cup final defeat by Manchester City, are also in the group, which will be led by Darren Fletcher.
Carrick confident over more new signings (Picture: Niall Carson/PA Wire) Manchester United have enquired into a move for Liverpool transfer target Ibrahim Mbaye. Liverpool have explored a move for the Paris Saint-Germain youngster this summer as they seek to strengthen their wide options ahead of the start of the new season following Mohamed Salah’s exit. Mbaye, 18, made his debut for the French champions in August 2024 aged just 16 but with some of European football’s best attacking players ahead of him in the pecking order at Parc de Princes, the right winger is considering his options this summer. Liverpool are also interested in signing another PSG star in Bradley Barcola with the France international believed to be their top target. 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. Signing both players could set them back as much as €200million (£171m) while reports this week have suggested Andoni Iraola’s side deem PSG’s €50m (£42m) asking price for Mbaye to be too expensive. While Liverpool’s interest may be cooling, there is no shortage of other suitors. A string of European clubs have approached PSG over a move including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Aston Villa and Roma with AS also naming United among the sides to have reached out. Mbaye is on the radar of a host of clubs (Picture: UEFA via Getty Images) United were keen to strengthen their wide options this summer but with Marcus Rashford now looking set to stay at Old Trafford, improving other positions is a more pressing matter. United have signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans to strengthen their midfield but Michael Carrick is keen on one more option in the middle of the park. Another left-back is also being sought with Carrick explaining this week the club are still pushing hard on all fronts. United have made two signings in midfield (Picture: Manchester United via Getty Images) ‘We’ve improved the group. We’ve improved the squad in different ways. Balance, quality and the direction we want to go in,’ Carrick said. ‘So the players that we’ve brought in, I think we’ve done really good business and we’ve got some top, top, top players. So we’re delighted with that. We always want to improve. ‘We want more, we need more. We keep looking forward to how we can do that. So that never stops. We’re conscious of that and we’ve got to keep pushing.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
