Manchester United are considering a shock move for Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly as Michael Carrick targets versatile options to bolster his squad. Newcastle’s Lewis Hall is also a target this transfer window, The Independent understands, with Eddie Howe’s departure perhaps hinting at a shift in strategy at the club that could see the left-back on the market.
A move for Lewis-Skelly would be more ambitious, but could Arsenal need to sell? The Premier League champions have made progress on a major deal for Vinicius Jr, though will have to pay a significant fee to capture the Brazilian from Real Madrid – particularly if Bruno Guimaraes is signed as well. Christian Norgaard is one fringe figure set for the exit after a single season at Arsenal; Everton is his next destination, it seems.
Elsewhere, Chelsea have announced the surprise signing of Danny Welbeck, with Jordan Henderson soon to follow, and Mohamed Salah appears to have a new club, finally, after leaving Liverpool on a free.
