Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has declared he is 100 per cent certain that Myles Lewis-Skelly will remain at the club when the transfer window shuts.

Arteta's emphatic statement leaves no room for doubt over the young defender's future, dismissing any suggestion that Lewis-Skelly could depart before the deadline. The Arsenal boss was unequivocal in his confidence that the teenager is part of his plans going forward.

In the same briefing, Arteta also touched on the fitness of Bruno Guimaraes, expressing uncertainty over whether the midfielder will be available for Arsenal's upcoming fixture against Coventry.
