Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith (Picture: Getty)]Alan Smith has controversially suggested that Arsenal should consider selling talented young full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer. Despite that promising breakthrough season, Lewis-Skelly has found regular minutes harder to come by this season, with the teenager falling behind Riccardo Calafiori in the pecking order. Lewis-Skelly has made just one solitary league start so far this campaign, although he did start in the Gunners’ midweek Champions League victory over Inter at San Siro. Despite his lack of game time, Arsenal are said to have rebuffed loan interest from several other Premier League clubs in the January transfer window.
