My understanding is Man United like Myles Lewis-Skelly, really difficult deal, because Arsenal won\u2019t necessarily play ball, but the player is prepared to explore options because he wants more minutes, and we had a kind of link in January with Chelsea, and it was exactly the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe player side are prepared to speak to suitors, with full respect by the way for Arsenal, but they almost want that leverage and those options because he is looking for more game time. But then, when I speak to Arsenal sources, they basically say the only way a sale will happen is for something absolutely crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, if someone wants Myles Lewis-Skelly in the club-to-club side, they\u2019re likely to have to overpay. And usually, in the market, when you\u2019re in that scenario of probably overpaying for a player that in the long run could grow in value and repay that, you tend to want \u2018buy in\u2019 first because (that\u2019s) the only chance you\u2019ve got in a negotiation.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Lewis-Skelly may push to leave Arsenal<\/h2>\n<p>As Jacobs points out, getting the player on board with the transfer will be half the battle, and his lack of minutes this season could well help persuade him to move away from the Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>While the Gunners are currently only willing to sell if they receive a mammoth fee, that stance would soften if Lewis-Skelly expresses a desire to switch clubs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fave.co\/4sN3KWL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy a Man Utd third shirt from Fanatics here<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Man Utd have 2 main alternatives<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1075280598\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><br \/>Considering how difficult it could be to get Lewis-Skelly out of Arsenal, it is not a surprise that United are hedging their bets.<\/p>\n<p>Two other left-backs have been linked with a switch to the Emirates in recent days.
