Arsenal are ‘very excited’ about Myles Lewis-Skelly
Myles Lewis-Skelly is one of the most exciting talents coming through at Hale End.
The 16-year-old has been spotted in first-team training sessions on more than one occasion, and it’s clear how highly rated he is at the club.
The teenager has a massive future ahead of him, and Kaya Kaynak has revealed that Arsenal are on the right path to get him to agree a new deal.
The journalist told GiveMeSport: “Arsenal are very keen when it comes to these young players to manage them the right way. It does appear they are moving towards signing positive terms with Lewis-Skelly.
“That would be a positive step, but they’re very keen to make sure they don’t skip any steps in their development and not throw them in the deep end too early.
“I think it might be a little while before we see him in the first team picture or maybe going out on loan. But he’s a player Arsenal are very excited about, and rightly so, in my opinion.”
