The club has a long-term interest in the player, following their recent interest in him in January. However, Arsenal is not keen on selling Lewis-Skelly to Chelsea, their local rival, as they may face competition for top positions this season. Manchester United is also interested but has not yet decided whether they will commit to signing a midfielder or a left-back before the transfer deadline.
