Mikel Merino, a talented player for Arsenal, recently shared his admiration for his teammate, Myles Lewis-Skelly, who is quickly making a name for himself in the football world. Merino spoke highly of Lewis-Skelly's fearless attitude, especially when it comes to asking questions during training, even if they may seem silly.
At just 18 years old, Lewis-Skelly was given the opportunity to start in a game against Monaco and played for 64 minutes, during which Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory in the Champions League. This was a significant moment for Lewis-Skelly, who had previously made his senior debut as a substitute against Manchester City in September. He has since played in a total of seven first-team games, showcasing his skills in both midfield and left-back positions.
Merino, who himself joined Arsenal from Real Sociedad for a hefty sum of £31.6m, expressed his admiration for Lewis-Skelly, saying, "He's an amazing guy." He went on to praise the teenager for his humble attitude and eagerness to learn from his teammates, never shying away from asking questions, no matter how trivial they may seem. Merino also highlighted Lewis-Skelly's technical and physical abilities, which he believes will bring joy to anyone who watches him play.
The Spaniard also commended Lewis-Skelly's full debut performance, saying, "Myles did an amazing job." He noted the composure and quality that the young player possesses and credited the entire squad for helping him improve. Merino believes that training with such a talented group of players every day can only make one better. He expressed his happiness for Lewis-Skelly and all the other players who are giving their best for the team.
In other news, there is talk of another potential wonderkid breaking into Arsenal's first-team under the guidance of manager Mikel Arteta. Ismeal Kabia, who put on an impressive performance for Arsenal U19s in their win over Monaco, is rumored to be the next big thing for the club. He even contributed two assists in what has been described as one of his best performances to date. With players like Lewis-Skelly and Kabia on the rise, it seems Arsenal has a bright future ahead.
