Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly It seems he is enjoying the challenge given to the club to fight for his place.
After enjoying a breakthrough campaign in 2024-25, in which Lewis-Skelly impressed mightily for both club and country, the youngster has struggled to find game time this season.
Mikel ArtetaThe Manchester United side have built a healthy lead in the Premier League and have immense squad depth, which has led to the exclusion of several young talents, including Lewis-Skelly, who has only played 87 minutes of Premier League football.
The 19-year-old, who scored on his England debut against Albania, was recently left out by Thomas Tuchel, who made it clear the youngster needs to play regularly for the Gunners to book a place in the World Cup squad.
Lewis-Skelly isn’t going anywhere
He was reported that several Premier League clubs are interested in signing the youngster, who recently signed a new five-year contract with Arsenal.
The youngster lost his place in the team Riccardo Calafiorias he further lowered the pecking order behind the all-rounder Piero Hincapie.
The England defender featured in another three Champions League matches and two EFL Cup matches, providing three assists, and the north London club are very pleased with his progress.
According to Football LondonArsenal do not see his lack of playing time as a setback in his career, and that he is a key part of Arteta’s plans.
Will Arsenal send him out on loan in January?
Lewis-Skelly is a fantastic young talent, but it’s also important to note that he is still a teenager and Arteta is likely managing his workload.
At the moment it seems very difficult for the young left-back to start every week, barring an injury crisis, and he will have to wait for his opportunities.
Despite interest from Everton, Fulham, West Ham United and Nottingham Forest, the Gunners are unlikely to send him out on loan in January, given they are competing for all the major trophies and Arteta needs a full squad.
Lewis-Skelly can also play in midfield, but Arsenal are well stocked in that department and the chances of him playing in a different role are very slim.
