Everton to make £100m statement with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri deals
Everton could potentially pounce on Arsenal duo Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri in the upcoming transfer window.
According to BBC Sport, the Gunners are open to selling the promising young English duo in the summer after their lack of minutes at the Emirates Stadium this season.
The news outlet reports on 9 April that the North London outfit will try to recoup at least £100million from the sale of the two 19-year-olds, with David Moyes keen on Lewis-Skelly.
Nwaneri was a target at Hill Dickinson Stadium in the winter transfer window, but he ended up joining Olympique Marseille on loan.
The Friedkin Group must back Moyes in the summer after leaving fans frustrated by their lack of investment in the last two transfer windows and completing moves for the Arsenal duo would undoubtedly be a statement of intent.

Myles Lewis-Skelly should be priority target for Everton
As things stand, Vitalii Mykolenko’s current contract expires at the end of the season, although the Toffees have an option to extend it by a further season.
The Blues signed Adam Aznou from Bayern Munich last summer, but Moyes doesn’t seem to trust the Moroccan defender at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
| Champions League Statistics | Lewis-Skelly |
| Appearances | 8 |
| Starts | 6 |
| Assists | 2 |
| Big chances created | 3 |
| Clean sheets | 3 |
| Tackles per game | 0.8 |
| Balls recovered per game | 2.9 |
| Clearances per game | 1.4 |
| Successful dribbles per game | 0.4 (100%) |
| Total duels won per game | 3.5 (53%) |
It’s clear that the Merseyside outfit need reinforcements in the backline and Lewis-Skelly could potentially be the right fit for them.
The young left-back’s prospects have diminished in recent months and he could potentially earn his place back in the England national team with a move to L3 ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
Ethan Nwaneri may not want Hill Dickinson Stadium move
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been in sublime form for Everton this season, becoming an integral part of their success.
The midfielder was struggling at Chelsea in the previous campaign but has come back to his best under Moyes, mostly playing in the number 10 position.
Nwaneri is arguably the most effective when playing just behind the striker, but he may not get an opportunity in that position at the Merseyside outfit due to Dewsbury-Hall.
The Arsenal prodigy will surely have top teams fighting for his signature in the summer and it remains to be seen whether the Merseyside outfit are seen as a viable option.
