Arsenal face a busy transfer window as Lewis-Skelly’s future at the club remains unsettled amid interest from Manchester United and Chelsea. The teenager has shifted into midfield and performed well in recent friendlies, but earned competition with the arrivals of Bruno Guimarães and other midfielders. Arsenal are considering selling players to fund further signings.
The Milan prosecutor’s office has summoned Alessandro Bastoni, a 27-year-old Italy defender, in connection with an inquiry into an alleged escort ring. Investigators allege he paid for sex with a 17-year-old in June 2020. Wiretaps quote a PR representative and Bastoni’s responses; his camp says he did not engage in sexual relations with minors. Other players are under scrutiny in the wider probe.
