He is certainly a player that can play a in lots of positions.”Lewis-Skelly was selected in Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad.Tuchel deployed him as a full-back in his last two Three Lions’ appearances, World Cup qualification clashes against Albania and Latvia in March, the first of which Lewis-Skelly scored in.Losing him to Los Blancos, who have also been long-term admirers of William Saliba, would be a bitter blow to the Gunners long-term transfer plans.Arsenal are also in negotiations with fellow starlet Ethan Nwaneri.Read More on The SunIn terms of incomings this summer, Arsenal have submitted an offer to land Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres but have been joined in the pursuit by Chelsea.However, the Blues being boosted after news emerged that Liam Delap wants to join them may give the Gunners a clear shot at the former Coventry ace.Join SUN CLUB for the Arsenal Files every Friday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from The Emirates More
