Any chances of Miles Lewis-Skelly joining Chelsea have been put to bed by the Arsenal man himself. <\/strong><\/p>\n

There were recent rumours that Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly had been offered to Chelsea<\/a> for around \u00a345 million. Following their heavy \u00a375 million investment in Bruno Guimaraes, the Gunners explored selling the teenager to balance their books.<\/p>\n

\n

However, it then came out that Lewis-Skelly didn\u2019t want to leave the Emirates in order to fight for his place in North London.<\/p>\n

Nobody really knew what to believe, but Chelsea<\/a> signing Pep Chavarria seems to put an end to it.<\/p>\n

Miles Lewis-Skelly reaffirms his Arsenal stance <\/h2>\n

Myles Lewis-Skelly<\/a> delivered a standout performance starting in central midfield against Como, driving Arsenal\u2019s tempo with sharp pressing and composure on the ball. <\/p>\n

In the 33rd minute, he intercepted goalkeeper Jean Butez\u2019s weak clearance and calmly slotted home the opening goal. During his celebration, the 19-year-old made a heart gesture to the crowd before repeatedly tapping the Arsenal badge on his shirt, a firm response to ongoing transfer rumors.<\/p>\n

He remained active, pressing high and threatening again before being substituted in the 61st minute.<\/p>\n

Where would Lewis Miles-Skelly have fit at Chelsea?<\/h2>\n

On paper, Myles Lewis-Skelly looks like a tailor-made fit for Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard loves versatile, press-resistant players who can drift seamlessly between left-back and central midfield. <\/p>\n

But Chelsea\u2019s real issue isn\u2019t quality, it\u2019s crowding. The Blues are already completely stacked in central midfield, which is where Lewis-Skelly has been doing his best work lately. <\/p>\n

The likes of Valentin Barco, Romeo Lavia, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, Dario Essugo, Jordan Henderson and Reece James are all fighting for just two spots.<\/p>\n
