Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, couldn't help but praise the young talent of 17-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly. Arteta referred to him as a "competitor" and was thoroughly impressed by his debut against Manchester City on Sunday. Despite receiving a yellow card before even stepping onto the pitch, Lewis-Skelly came on as a substitute for Jurrien Timber in the 92nd minute.
Unfortunately, Lewis-Skelly wasn't able to help his team secure a victory as Manchester City's John Stones scored the equalizer in the dying seconds of the game. However, Arteta was still in awe of the youngster's performance and even mentioned that he can play in three different positions - left back, No.6, and No.8. Arteta praised Lewis-Skelly's versatility and ability to adapt to different roles on the field.
In terms of his character, Arteta had nothing but positive things to say. He described Lewis-Skelly as constantly making eye contact with his teammates and always asking questions. This shows his determination and competitive edge, which is a necessary quality at the professional level. Arteta also mentioned that the young player has an eagerness to learn and is very intelligent.
Arteta is confident in Lewis-Skelly's abilities and sees him as a valuable asset to the team. He even hinted at potentially starting him in their upcoming match against Bolton in the Carabao Cup. The youngster has already earned his first cap for England U19s this month and is highly regarded by his peers. He is said to have a similar playing style to that of Michael Essien and has progressed through the Arsenal academy alongside his friend and teammate, Ethan Nwaneri.
It is clear that Lewis-Skelly has caught the attention of both his manager and the media. He is a promising young talent with a bright future ahead of him. As he continues to develop and grow, we can expect to see more of him on the field for Arsenal. And with Arteta's guidance and trust, Lewis-Skelly has all the support he needs to succeed.
