Arsenal have some of the most valuable players in the world in their squad.

Mikel Arteta has built an incredible side over the last few years, and some of his signings have cost big money.

However, the Arsenal manager has had the luxury of promoting players from the academy, and some of them are truly incredible.

Now, one such player’s transfer value may have shot up because of the nature of the current transfer market – Myles Lewis-Skelly.

How much are these five Arsenal players really worth according to you?

Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly may well be a £100 million player now

Every transfer window over the years has had a theme.

Sometimes, all the big money signings end up being forwards, while on other occasions, defenders end up costing a fortune.

This summer seems to be that of midfielders.

Elliot Anderson has gone to Manchester City for £116 million, while Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes have joined Tottenham for a combined £185 million.

There are rumours that players like Enzo Fernandez, Aurelian Tchouameni and Morgan Rogers among others could all be sold for similar money as well.

That makes us wonder how much Lewis-Skelly is worth in this crazy market.

The Arsenal academy graduate produced a number of exceptional performances in midfield in the final weeks of the 2025/26 campaign.

Lewis-Skelly is still only 19, is a full England international, can play in midfield as well as left-back and has the potential to be an absolute superstar. His current contract does not expire until 2030 either.

With the midfield market behaving the way it is, we won’t be surprised at all if Andrea Berta values Lewis-Skelly at around £100 million as well.

That, however, doesn’t mean Arsenal should cash in.

If you could set Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly’s price tags, how much would you demand?

Myles Lewis-Skelly’s future must remain at Arsenal

If a huge offer arrives for Lewis-Skelly, Arsenal could be tempted to sell because his transfer fee would be seen as pure profit in the books.

However, the thought of selling him shouldn’t even come to Berta or Mikel Arteta’s mind.

Lewis-Skelly’s potential is absolutely humongous, and his transfer value will only go up as he continues to play more games for Arsenal.

There was a period last season where it looked like the Gunners would sell the teenager, but his end-of-season form must have changed that stance.

We hope Lewis-Skelly stays at the Emirates Stadium forever and fulfils his potential. With enough game time, we are convinced that it will happen.
