Former England defender and pundit Jamie Carragher has voiced his bewilderment over Arsenal's transfer approach concerning homegrown talent Miles Lewis-Skelly.
The 19-year-old midfielder started for the Gunners in the FA Community Shield against Manchester City, contributing significantly to the 3-0 victory with a superb assist for Riccardo Calafiori just 24 seconds into the game.
Expert reactions and transfer gossip
Reflecting on the standout performance, Carragher took to social media to share his thoughts:
What a role Miles had in that Arsenal goal! Is Arsenal really trying to push him out?
- Market interest: It was reported earlier that the Gunners had proposed Lewis-Skelly to both Chelsea and Manchester United for £45 million, but both clubs have so far declined to engage in negotiations.
- Praise from McCoist: Scottish football legend Ally McCoist described the young player's display as "outstanding and sensational" during a broadcast on TNT Sports.
Aside from praising the Arsenal player, Carragher also directed attention towards the management of Manchester City following a painful defeat for Enzo Maresca's side. He noted that City must do everything in their power to keep hold of midfielder Rodri, who missed the match amid speculation regarding a potential move to Barcelona.
This Friday, Arsenal will kick off their Premier League title defence with a home clash against Coventry City.
