The big news yesterday was how the door may be open for Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri to leave the club. This did not come as a surprise for me.

I was already in the process of writing a blog about the players who may leave this summer, and MLS and Nwaneri were on my list.

No one wants to see academy graduates leave, especially those which have shown the potential of MLS and Nwaneri. But to be a success in football you need to evolve and Arsenal may have evolved beyond the pair.

A few years back we had the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson, Bukayo Saka, Joe Willock and Ainsley Maitland-Niles breaking through. We returned as top 4 challengers based on the performances of Hale Enders.

But to evolve into the consistent title challengers we now are we had to look at better than wha we had. And that meant the likes of Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino coming in.

The only one from that group who is still at Arsenal is Bukayo Saka. He has gone on to be one of the best right wingers...
