Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says news of Myles Lewis Skelly being called up to the England national team is one he is proud of, having handed the 18-year-old his debut with Arsenal’s first team.
Lewis-Skelly has shown promising signs this year for Arsenal on the right flank in the absence of Bukayo Saka and is expected to be a player with a huge future at the London-based club.
Speaking to the media ahead of Arsenal’s crunch derby against Chelsea on Sunday, Arteta took a moment to reflect on Lewis Skelly’s callup, stating that he couldn’t be any prouder of the teenager.
“Myles Lewis Skelly called up by England makes us proud. Its a huge moment for him and getting the call from England made us all happy.”
Lewis Skelly’s profile looks a great one for the future of the Gunners due to his versatility.
Nonetheless, he’s still got a long way to go in racking up the experience of top level matches, and that call by Thomas Tuchel is surely one that could be a turning point for his career.
