The futures of Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri at Arsenal are both up in the air.
The two academy graduates are among the best talents of their age in the country, and everyone who has seen them play believes they will be stars in the future.
However, reports have claimed that both Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly are candidates for sale at Arsenal in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Andrea Berta must throw that thought out of his head after watching the duo’s performance for the England U21s.
Imagine you are Andrea Berta. How will you respond if Manchester United call you to sign Myles Lewis-Skelly?
Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri show why they are Arsenal’s future
Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri started for the England U21s against Moldova in their European Championship qualifier.
The Young Lions’ squad featured other popular names like Archie Gray, Tyler Dibling and Jobe Bellingham, but it was the Arsenal duo that ran the show.
Nwaneri scored two goals, and Lewis-Skelly played a key role in both strikes. The left-back bossed the game by inverting into a midfield role and was leagues above everyone else on the pitch.
The Arsenal number 49 earned an 8.2/10 rating from Sofascore, while Nwaneri scored 8.4/10. No player got a higher score than those two on Tuesday.
Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri showed against Moldova – collectively and individually – that they are the future of England as well as Arsenal.
Selling either player this summer without giving them a proper run in the side would be an unforgivable mistake from Mikel Arteta and Berta.
We think Lewis-Skelly should start getting opportunities in midfield straight after the international break, while Nwaneri should be integrated back into the side once he returns from his loan spell at Marseille.

Andrea Berta must change his mind about Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly
Tuesday was a great day for the Arsenal academy.
Max Dowman was incredible for the England U19s, and on the same day, Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly performed incredibly well for the U21s.
It is clear for everyone to see that the three youngsters are the future of Arsenal and have the potential to become absolute superstars by the time they reach their prime.
For that reason, Berta should abandon the thought of selling Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri. He should instead create a proper pathway for them to be established members of the first team.
If that needs a loan move for both players next season, so be it.
