Arsenal has decided against a January transfer for Myles Lewis-Skelly, despite his recent challenging performance against Bayern Munich, affirming his importance to their long-term plans alongside a call for consistency from Eberechi Eze.
According to a report from Football Insider, Arsenal remain committed to Myles Lewis-Skelly, ruling out any sale or loan move in the upcoming January transfer window despite a difficult outing against Bayern Munich.
The 19-year-old left-back was heavily criticised by fans after a shaky performance during Arsenal’s 3–1 Champions League win over the German side — raising fresh speculation over his future.
However, club sources have dismissed suggestions he could depart, emphasizing that Lewis-Skelly remains a key part of the squad’s long-term plans.
In a recent Inside Track podcast, it was confirmed that Arsenal “still see him … as a key part of their long-term plans at the club.”
Despite limited playing time this season — with first-team minutes hard to come by due to the presence of established left-backs — the Gunners believe his potential and existing contract tie him firmly to the club’s future ambitions.
Should injuries or rotation demands arise, Lewis-Skelly is still expected to feature as a viable option.
As it stands, any exit talk has been shut down — Arsenal insist there will be no departure for the young defender in January.
