Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he is “100 per cent” confident that 19-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly will remain at the club through the summer transfer window, rejecting speculation that the defender had been offered to Manchester United or Chelsea. Lewis-Skelly has impressed in preseason, contributing to goals against Como and Manchester City. Arteta also emphasized the importance of retaining and developing academy graduates. He said there had been no change in the situations of Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri, while Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice are available, Bruno Guimaraes is being monitored for a thigh issue, and Jurrien Timber has not yet returned to group training.
