Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, recently praised one of the team's most promising young players, Myles Lewis-Skelly. Despite being overshadowed by fellow academy graduate Ethan Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly has shown great potential and is on track to make it to the first team.
In a recent match against Liverpool, Arteta made a bold move by bringing Lewis-Skelly off the bench to mark star player Mohamed Salah. Although the youngster made a mistake that led to a goal, he showed immense composure and bravery on the field. When asked about Lewis-Skelly's performance, Arteta commended his strong personality and commitment to the game.
The manager also mentioned that Lewis-Skelly has the qualities needed to play in various positions, both defensively and offensively. He believes that the young player has earned the opportunity to showcase his talents in the upcoming Carabao Cup tie against Preston.
Arteta's trust in Lewis-Skelly has resulted in Oleksandr Zinchenko, an experienced left-back, falling further down the pecking order. While the Ukrainian player had a positive impact on the team when he first joined, it seems that Arsenal has evolved to a point where his skills are no longer necessary.
When asked about Zinchenko's lack of playing time, Arteta explained that it was a difficult decision but one that was made with the team's performance in mind. He also acknowledged Zinchenko's abilities and past contributions to the team.
On a positive note, another left-back, Kieran Tierney, is close to making his return to the first team after recovering from a hamstring injury. Arteta mentioned that Tierney has been looking sharp in training and is expected to join the team in the next week or two.
