Headline: Premier League Clubs Express Interest in Myles Lewis-Skelly Amid Transfer Speculation
Tuesday’s headlines indicate that Myles Lewis-Skelly may be on the verge of a transfer, with two Premier League clubs reportedly showing interest in the young talent.
According to a source cited by BBC Sport, Lewis-Skelly was offered to Manchester United back in January; however, Arsenal has stated that they have not actively pursued any offers for him.

Manchester United’s need for a left-back is evident, especially since their latest signing, Patrick Dorgu, played in an advanced position during pre-season games.
Dorgu struggled with injuries after Michael Carrick took the helm, with all of his Premier League appearances under Carrick occurring on the wing or in a wide attacking role.
Luke Shaw, who featured in every Premier League match last season, has a history of fitness challenges.
United has also been linked with Newcastle’s Lewis Hall, but they recognize that securing a deal may prove difficult, particularly following the exits of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes from the club.

United do need a left-back though with Patrick Dorgu, their most recent signing in the position, playing in an advanced role throughout pre-season.
Dorgu was mostly injured after Michael Carrick took charge, but all of his Premier League appearances under the United boss were on the wing or in a wide attacking role.
Luke Shaw started every Premier League game last season, but his overall fitness record is patchy.
United have been linked with a move for Newcastle‘s Lewis Hall but they accept it would be difficult to sign him, particularly after the departures of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes from the club.

If they did sign Lewis-Skelly, there is also the option that he could fill the third midfielder position there is still debate over, but the feeling is that United want another natural full-back to challenge for a starting role.
