Myles Lewis-Skelly Aims for Midfield Role at Arsenal

Myles Lewis-Skelly, a 19-year-old footballer, is striving to secure a position as a starting midfielder for Arsenal following his breakthrough into the first team. Last season, he made 36 appearances, initially stepping in as a left-back due to injuries within the squad.

Lewis-Skelly's rapid development saw him become one of the top young full-backs in the Premier League, even earning a spot on the England national team, where he made history as the youngest player to score on debut. Despite his success, he has always preferred playing in midfield, a position he excelled in during his time at Arsenal's Hale End academy.

With the arrival of experienced defenders, Lewis-Skelly faced challenges in securing playing time last season. However, he was given an opportunity to play in midfield towards the end of the campaign, contributing to Arsenal's Premier League title win. As the new season approaches, he has impressed in pre-season matches, positioning himself as a strong contender for a starting role in midfield.
