Real Madrid will reportedly look to sign 19-year-old English international Myles Lewis-Skelly from Arsenal in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Myles Lewis-Skelly is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues are reportedly keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile footballer in the summer transfer window. So, the 19-year-old Arsenal wonderkid has emerged as a target for Los Blancos.
The North London outfit will demand around €60 million to part ways with the Englishman, with Real Madrid viewing the valuation as fair. The Spanish giants “will present a formal offer to Arsenal as soon as the transfer window opens, confident that the player’s desire will facilitate the agreement” this summer.
How has Myles Lewis-Skelly fared at Arsenal so far?
Myles Lewis-Skelly has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Premier League since breaking into the first-team squad at Arsenal. Born in London, the teenage prospect has spent his formative years thus far with the North London club, and he enjoyed his breakthrough at the Emirates last season.
The 19-year-old has already made over 50 appearances thus far for Arsenal while chipping in with one goal and six assists. Lewis-Skelly’s exploits have earned him his international bow, and he has represented England six times. However, the English utility man’s struggles for game time have piqued the attention of several well-known clubs, with Real Madrid among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the winter transfer window.
La Liga adventure on the horizon?
Myles Lewis-Skelly has been on Real Madrid’s wishlist for a long time. The continued interest is understandable, as the Spanish giants are scouring the market for a versatile footballer who can reprise multiple roles. With Fran Garcia and Ferland Mendy facing an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid can do with a new left-back.
Additionally, Los Blancos may part ways with a midfielder in the summer transfer window, compelling them to dip into the market for a new midfielder. Lewis-Skelly has thus emerged as a viable target, as the 19-year-old Englishman’s qualities make him an appealing option for Real Madrid, similar to Eduardo Camavinga.
Meanwhile, the North London outfit will demand around €60 million to part ways with Lewis-Skelly, with Real Madrid viewing the valuation as fair. The Spanish giants “will present a formal offer to Arsenal as soon as the transfer window opens, confident that the player’s desire will facilitate the agreement” this summer. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the English international.
