Myles Lewis-Skelly

Key strength: Pace and recovery

Overlapping full-back

At just 19 years old, Myles Lewis-Skelly has emerged from Arsenal's famed Hale End academy to become a vital cog in Mikel Arteta's table-topping machine. With Arsenal sitting proudly in 1st place and riding a formidable WWWWD run of form, the young English full-back has already racked up an impressive 28 appearances this season, contributing 3 assists from 1,413 minutes of action. His explosive pace and intelligent overlapping runs have added a new dimension to Arsenal's left flank, seamlessly complementing the star-studded midfield operating behind him. With a market value already soaring to €45 million and a long-term contract running until 2030, Lewis-Skelly represents the perfect blend of homegrown talent and elite potential. His 5 yellow cards hint at the fierce competitiveness that defines his recovery runs and defensive tenacity—qualities that have Arteta trusting him in crucial moments as Arsenal chase Premier League glory. Competing with experienced left-backs like Riccardo Calafiori for minutes, Lewis-Skelly continues to prove why he's the future of Arsenal's defense.
