Arsenal Not Actively Seeking to Sell Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri, But Open to 'Right Opportunity' Arsenal’s CEO, Richard Garlick, has clarified that the club is not actively pursuing the sale of 19-year-old academy products Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri, though they may consider a transfer if the "right opportunity" arises. Both players have made significant contributions to the first team, with Lewis-Skelly playing a pivotal role in the Gunners’ Champions League title run and starting the Community Shield final against Manchester City. Nwaneri, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Marseille, has also earned praise for his performances. Despite their current status, both players have been linked with moves this summer, with Chelsea and Manchester United showing interest in Lewis-Skelly. Garlick acknowledged the speculation but emphasized the club’s satisfaction with their development. "Myles has had a fantastic end to last season and has started this one really well," he said. "Ethan has had a great pre-season, and it’s just a case of looking at what opportunities there are that will help both of those in terms of their career moving forward." The potential departure of these homegrown players could yield financial benefits for Arsenal, as selling them would generate profit under the new Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) rules. The SCR, which replaced the previous Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), limits clubs to spending 85% of their revenues on fees, wages, and contracts. However, teams competing in European competitions, like Arsenal, are restricted to 70% of their revenue for such expenses. Garlick noted that the club is not seeking to sell these players but remains open to deals that align with their long-term goals.#arsenal #bruno_guimaraes #ethan_nwaneri #miles_lewis_skelly #richard_garlick
Arsenal Invite Offers for Martinelli and Nwaneri Amid Summer Sales Push Arsenal have initiated discussions with Galatasaray regarding potential transfers of several squad members during the current summer window. The Gunners are reportedly considering offers for Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri, with the latter being a key target for multiple European clubs. Martinelli, the Brazilian international, has received a verbal bid worth €45 million (£38.5 million) from Galatasaray, though the 25-year-old forward has expressed reluctance to move to Turkey. Meanwhile, Nwaneri, a 19-year-old England Under-21 international, has attracted interest from AC Milan, Fulham, Red Bull Leipzig, and Borussia Dortmund, with Arsenal open to exploring offers for the young winger. During talks between the two sides, the future of Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen was also discussed. Martinelli had tentative interest from Paris St-Germain in recent weeks but the French side have moved on to other targets. Fresh discussions over Arsenal’s potential move for Aston Villa’s Konsa have also been reported. Guimaraes made his Arsenal debut in a draw with Como, marking a notable moment for the club’s younger players. BBC Sport revealed in April that English winger Nwaneri was among the players Arsenal would listen to offers for this summer. The club’s sporting director, Andrea Berta, has been tasked with ensuring Arsenal are active sellers this summer while also strengthening the squad. Berta and his assistant, Maurizio Michele, have leveraged their strong connections in Turkey to facilitate sales. Belgium forward Leandro Trossard left for Besiktas in a deal worth up to £17 million. So far, Arsenal are set to raise in the region of £45 million from the sales of Trossard, Jakub Kiwior, Christian Norgaard, and Karl Hein.#arsenal #galatasaray #ethan_nwaneri #gabriel_martinelli #andrea_berta
