Arsenal is desperate to keep one of their brightest stars away from Real Madrid this summer with Mikel Arteta who leads a personal charge to convince him to stay in the emirates
Arsenal tries to succeed where Premier League champions have failed Liverpool – keep one of their stars from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants have already made a large recruitment ride this summer.
They have moved to Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold at the end of his deal and despite the fact that his switch is free, Real has reimbursed a multi-million pound to secure its services before this summer's club. In the meantime, they have also moved for Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen.
Allegedly, a third Premier League defender is now playing on their summer shortlist: Myles Lewis-Skelly. It has been reported that Chiefs in the Spanish club like to benefit from uncertainty with a movement of uncertainty -Lewis -Skelly has only had a year about his current deal in North Londs.
However, Arsenal does not seem to be in the mood to sell – or even entertain the thought of external interest. The Gunners want to tie Lewis-skelly, 18, to a new long-term deal according to the Daily Mail.
That would not only keep him in the club, it would also avoid an extremely messy and long-term saga-as seeing Alexander-Arnold his move to the Bernabeu.
Lewis-Skelly is expected to match a new deal in what another important chapter in his Arsenal career would represent a new deal before the start of the following season. The teenager appeared last season 39 performances for Arsenal in what a striking Breakout season was and once scored. He was also rewarded with his debut in England, while he was also scored for the three lions.
Lewis Skelly recently spoke about his affection for Arsenal: “For me personally I am a fan of the club, so that you watch it on TV, go to the games and in your mind you always want to come where they are. You just play, you just enjoy it and watch where it brings you.”
In the meantime, Arsenal -Baas Mikel Arteta remains a big fan. Earlier this season he said: 'That's what we like about him. He is very aggressive. Before he had another action where he made the right choice, he went for it.

“He is never (nervous out), he is so composed, calm and confident in his assets. At the age of 17 -it is not very common to score a really important goal in the Champions League.”
Away from the new deal of Lewis-Skelly, Arsenal also tries to add new faces to their team to reduce the gap to Liverpool. Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad seems to be their first signing of the summer and may be accompanied by RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
