    What's happening with Lewis-Skelly's Arsenal future?
    Lewis-Skelly has made 75 appearances for Arsenal [Getty Images]Myles Lewis-Skelly is already a hot topic and the season isn't officially under way. The 19-year-old's long-term future at Arsenal has been debated since he slipped down the pecking order last season - behind Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie - as Arsenal's third choice left-back.In his breakthrough season in 2024-25, he quickly developed into one of the best young full-backs in the Premier League, which led to him earning a place in the England squad and becoming the youngest man to score on his Three Lions debut.The following summer, the academy graduate was rewarded with a new five-year contract. But last season was more difficult.Arsenal had considered listening to offers for Lewis-Skelly, with club sources indicating in April they would look to recoup a minimum combined 100m for Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri.But his excellent end-of-season resurgence, in his natural position of centre midfield, may have sparked a rethink over his status during this transfer window. Lewis-Skelly has been one of the standout performers during pre-season and has started the past two friendlies as the Gunners prepare for the Community Shield against Manchester City on Sunday.With a number of midfielders returning late from the World Cup, and new signing Bruno Guimaraes still getting used to his new surroundings, Lewis-Skelly could still make another go at becoming a first team regular for the Gunners. Manchester United and Chelsea interestOn Tuesday, news headlines suggested Lewis-Skelly could be on the move with two Premier League clubs reportedly interested.One source told BBC Sport that Lewis-Skelly was offered to Manchester United in January, but Arsenal say they have not actively offered him to anyone. Manchester United do need a left-back though, with their most recent signing in the position, Patrick Dorgu, playing in an advanced role throughout this pre-season. Dorgu was mostly injured after Michael Carrick took charge but all of his Premier League appearances under the United boss were on the wing or in a wide attacking role. Luke Shaw started every Premier League game last season but his overall fitness record is patchy. United have been linked with a move for Newcastle's Lewis Hall, but accept it would be difficult to sign him, particularly after the departures of Sandro Tonali and Guimaraes from the club. If they did sign Lewis-Skelly there is also the option that he could fill the third midfielder position there is still debate over, but the feeling is that United want another natural full-back to challenge for a starting role. Like United, Chelsea also say they have been offered the chance to sign Lewis-Skelly but Arsenal maintain they have not offered the player to any other team.Chelsea have two left-backs already in Jorrel Hato and new signing Pep Chavarria and are not in Europe, so will not have as many fixtures to navigate this season. With that in mind they are not expected to sign a third left-back to supplement their squad. Chelsea also have six central midfielders, although it is possible Enzo Fernandez could be sold and Dario Essugo leaves on loan.It makes it unlikely Chelsea would be in the market to sign Lewis-Skelly without substantial sales.Lewis-Skelly's position Lewis-Skelly has made it clear that he wants to stay at Arsenal and is focused on working to try to establish himself as a first team regular at the club.There is no denying his position in the Arsenal first team is under threat after the arrival of midfielder Guimaraes for 75m from Newcastle United, but there is also the prospect that with so many matches, Lewis-Skelly could still get the game time he desires. But Arsenal are looking to sell members of their squad before the transfer window closes. Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli would be available if a suitable offer was made, while Fabio Vieira and Reiss Nelson are not part of Mikel Arteta's plans. Arsenal invested heavily in the market last summer, bringing in eight players for 250m, and they have spent over 100m in this window already while stil looking to add more players before the deadline. They have sold Christian Norgaard to Everton for 7m and Leandro Trossard to Besiktas for about 15m, but the Gunners are aware they have to be flexible in the market as the deadline gets closer.As an academy graduate, if Lewis-Skelly is sold he would present 'pure profit' in the club's accounts. That fact is something Lewis-Skelly is aware of, writing the caption "pure profit" on a picture of himself with the Premier League trophy when Arsenal celebrated the title at Selhurst Park on the final day of last season.The impact of the potential sale has changed, however, with the introduction of the new Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) rules, as any sale of a player will now be spread evenly over the length of their contract - meaning clubs won't be able to show such an immediate boost on their books after selling an academy graduate. At the moment it does not look like a move for Lewis-Skelly is imminent, but that does not mean his future at Arsenal is certain just yet.

    Five questions Eagles must answer against the Ravens
    The Philadelphia Eagles will open the preseason against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night at M&T Bank Stadium, but the final score will be secondary to what Nick Sirianni and his staff learn about the roster.Jalen Hurts and many established starters may receive little or no playing time. Baltimore has already announced that Lamar Jackson and its proven starters will sit. That will shift the spotlight toward players competing for backup jobs, rotational roles and the final spots on Philadelphias initial 53-man roster.Here are five things the Eagles need to learn during their preseason opener.How quickly can the offense operate under Sean Mannion?Philadelphia has spent training camp installing a new offense under first-year coordinator Sean Mannion. Saturday will provide the first opportunity to evaluate the system against an opponent in a game setting.The Eagles dont need to unveil every formation or concept they plan to use during the regular season. They do need to show that players can communicate the calls, line up correctly and operate with the timing Mannion has emphasized throughout the summer.Pre-snap penalties, missed assignments and wasted timeouts would signal that additional work is needed. Clean operation would be an encouraging first step, regardless of how many points the offense scores.Who is leading the backup quarterback competition?Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee are listed together behind Hurts on Philadelphias first unofficial depth chart. The preseason should help create some separation. Dalton brings 15 seasons of experience and has handled nearly every situation an NFL quarterback can encounter. McKee has developed inside the Eagles organization and entered camp as the incumbent backup.Both quarterbacks should receive meaningful work if Hurts sits. The evaluation will extend beyond passing yards and touchdowns. Mannion and Sirianni will study how each player manages the huddle, handles pressure, avoids turnovers and keeps the offense on schedule.Cole Payton should also receive an opportunity. His performance could determine whether Philadelphia views him as a developmental quarterback worth keeping on the practice squad.Can the reserve offensive line protect the quarterbacks?Philadelphia knows what it has in Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Tyler Steen and Lane Johnson. The questions begin behind them.Markel Bell is listed as Johnsons primary backup at right tackle and could receive extended playing time. The rookie has impressed Johnson during camp, but preseason competition will offer a better indication of how prepared he is to handle NFL pass rushers.Drew Kendall, Willie Lampkin, Jake Majors, Micah Morris, Myles Hinton and Cameron Williams are also competing for reserve roles. Versatility will matter, but the Eagles must first determine which linemen they can trust to keep the pocket clean and avoid drive-killing mistakes.The backup offensive line doesnt need to dominate every snap. It must show enough consistency to give Philadelphia confidence that the offense can function if injuries occur during the regular season.Which defensive backs can be trusted behind the starters?Vic Fangio has several established pieces in Riq Woolen, Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean and Andrew Mukuba. The preseason opener should help clarify the depth behind them.Kelee Ringo, Jonathan Jones, Jakorian Bennett, Mac McWilliams, Michael Carter II and Marcus Epps are among the players competing for roles in the secondary. McWilliams has generated momentum during training camp and is listed as one of the options behind DeJean at nickel cornerback.The Eagles need to evaluate more than coverage. Communication, tackling and discipline will become equally important against Baltimore. Preseason games frequently expose missed assignments that werent obvious during controlled training camp practices.DeJeans listing at both nickel cornerback and safety illustrates Fangios desire to build a flexible secondary. The performance of the players around him will determine how freely the Eagles can move him once the regular season begins.Who can earn a roster spot on special teams?Several competitions may ultimately be decided when Philadelphia punts or kicks off.Britain Covey is listed as the primary punt returner, with Makai Lemon and Elijah Moore behind him. Will Shipley leads the kickoff-return group ahead of Dameon Pierce and Tank Bigsby.The return opportunities will attract attention, but coverage and blocking assignments may carry more weight with the coaching staff. Reserve receivers, running backs, linebackers and defensive backs must prove they can contribute without receiving regular snaps on offense or defense.Players such as Pierce, Covey, Ringo, McWilliams, Smael Mondon, Chance Campbell and J.T. Gray can strengthen their roster cases by producing on special teams.Final analysis Philadelphia wont leave Baltimore with every question answered. One preseason game cannot settle every position battle or determine whether Mannions offense is ready for Week 1.It can provide the first meaningful evidence.The Eagles need to see clean execution, dependable depth and young players capable of handling the speed and pressure of an NFL game. If those answers begin to emerge Saturday night, the preseason opener will have served its purpose regardless of what appears on the scoreboard.This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: Five questions Eagles must answer against the Ravens
