As Arsenal continues its push to secure the future of one of its most promising youngsters, recent reports have surfaced suggesting that Myles Lewis-Skelly is attracting interest from Real Madrid. The talented left-back has only one year remaining on his current contract, and his emergence in the first team has underlined his importance to the club.
Lewis-Skelly enjoyed a breakthrough season that has convinced many within the club that he is capable of becoming their long-term solution at left-back. As a product of Arsenal’s youth academy, he represents not just potential but also a valuable investment in the club’s developmental philosophy. His performances have highlighted his technical skill, maturity and ability to compete at the highest level, making him a player Arsenal are determined to retain.
Negotiations Ongoing Amid Real Madrid Links
Talks over a new deal are ongoing, but negotiations have taken longer than expected. Despite this, both Arsenal and Lewis-Skelly are reportedly eager to reach an agreement. The Gunners remain confident that he will sign a contract extension that will keep him at the Emirates well beyond the expiration of his current deal.
However, fans are understandably concerned by reports linking him with a potential move to Real Madrid. Given the Spanish club’s reputation for securing top young talent when interest arises, the speculation has created a sense of urgency. Arsenal supporters are hopeful that the club can finalise a new deal swiftly to prevent further uncertainty.
Pressure Tactics Suspected by Arsenal
According to Football Insider, Mick Brown has suggested that the reported interest from Real Madrid may be a tactic employed by the defender’s representatives to increase leverage in ongoing discussions. He stated, “It’s a ploy from the player’s camp to drum up interest. If you can put out that Real Madrid, Barcelona or whoever are looking at the player, it makes him more valuable to Arsenal and they have to put more money on the table. It happens with most players across the country, contract talks start and then they’re linked with moves. Arsenal will feel they’re in a strong position, though, and they’re pushing for that deal.”
It is essential that Arsenal concludes these negotiations as soon as possible to eliminate distractions and secure the future of one of their most exciting prospects.

A player’s reps planting stories about other team’s interest. That’s a new one😏
But many fans always fall for it and start panicking / breaking down over non stories such as this one all the time.
The overly fear mongering comments from the fanbase always are somthing to smile about..
😊
No need to panic unless Fabritzio Romano says something is wrong. Imo the Real Madrid links are clickbait.
After his woeful display for England last night a pub team could be his next port of call.Massively overhyped for a player with limited natural talents.
Yes Grandad. One of Senegal’s goals were from the ball being played into the area that he should have been defending. But where was he?
To fair I been saying that for ages ( even wrote an article about it )
Good stepping Into midfield , brave on the ball in tight spaces but defensively often out of position often
Because he’s from the academy Gooners want to make out he’s better then he is
Did the same with Maitland Niles, Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson
Who do you think picked him to play for England, when he’s obviously not really suited to the role he was selected for?
I to watched him last night, and his performance overall wasn’t anything to write home about was it. Mind you that could be said of the whole team to be fare. 👍
They didn’t really look all that interested did they Derek?
Jax,
If this is what the England fans have got in store under Tuchel. Then it’s a case of same old, same old. That’s 90 minutes of my life that I can’t get back. 🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️😂
