Man Utd want Myles Lewis-Skelly

Manchester United could attempt a raid on Arsenal for Myles Lewis-Skelly in their bid to find a left-back this summer, according to Sky Sports.

Lewis-Skelly was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award last season but the 19-year-old has only made one Premier League start in this campaign, prompting doubts over his future.

United want to sign a left-back to compete with and eventually succeed Luke Shaw, leading to interest in Lewis-Skelly as well as Frankfurt’s Nathaniel Brown and Newcastle star Lewis Hall.

Arsenal are believed to be open to Lewis-Skelly spending next season out on loan but they have previously resisted interest to sell the teenager permanently, having tied their homegrown talent to a five-year contract last summer.

Josh Acheampong decision

Chelsea reportedly have no intention of allowing Josh Acheampong to depart the club this summer, despite rumoured interest from multiple top European teams.

The England U21 international has fallen down the pecking order since Mamadou Sarr’s return from a loan spell at Strasbourg in February and this has ignited fresh reports that he could be sold on a permanent deal by the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.

Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Real Madrid are all understood to be monitoring Acheampong’s situation in west London, as per CaughtOffside, and it’s claimed that offers of just €30 million could test Chelsea’s resolve.

However, Football Insider have confirmed that Liam Rosenior’s side have no interest in selling Acheampong this summer. Instead, they intend to hand him a more prominent role in the senior side next season.

Liverpool eye Francisco Conceicao

Liverpool’s hunt for a replacement for Mohamed Salah is well and truly underway, with Juventus star Francisco Conceicao a player that FootballTransfers can confirm they hold an interest in.

Following Salah’s announcement that he will depart Anfield at the end of the season, the Reds have been linked with a string of possible players to replace the 33-year-old icon.

Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise is widely regarded as the dream option, yet the France international is unlikely to leave the Bundesliga side after a blistering 18-month spell in Bavaria.

FootballTransfers has been informed by sources that Conceicao is a player Liverpool are keeping close tabs on, confirming reports that were broken by RMC’s Fabrice Hawkins.

Enzo Le Fee latest

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has reportedly identified Sunderland midfielder Enzo Le Fee as a surprise priority target for the 2026 summer transfer window.

The Gunners already have Martin Odegaard, Eberechi Eze, Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino to cover this role at the Emirates Stadium, in addition to Olympique Marseille loanee Ethan Nwaneri, but they have earmarked Le Fee as a potential summer signing.

That is according to Spanish publication Fichajes, who claim that Arteta views the former Lorient star as an ideal candidate to bolster his midfield ranks ahead of next season.

It’s reported that a fee of €50m may be required to tempt Sunderland into a sale during the upcoming summer window, but he is regarded as one of Arsenal’s top transfer targets as they look to build on an extremely impressive 2025-26 campaign.

Man Utd interested in Ben White

Manchester United are reportedly among the clubs keeping a close eye on Ben White’s situation at Arsenal.

It has been reported that Arsenal have reached an agreement to sell White if they receive a suitable offer this summer and TEAMtalk have confirmed that Everton and Manchester City are both interested in finalising a deal for the defender.

In addition, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd are also said to be monitoring developments ahead of a potential swoop following the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign.

White is reportedly yet to receive an official approach from any interested club, although negotiations regarding a deal are expected to intensify over the next few months as Arsenal prepare for a possible sale.
