Myles Lewis-Skelly set to land huge new role after Arsenal breakthrough as internal talks start

Myles Lewis-Skelly is reportedly being closely monitored by new England manager Thomas Tuchel ahead of the March international break.

The Three Lions will play Albania and Latvia in their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign next month, and according to Fabrizio Romano, ‘internal discussions’ have taken place about a potential call-up for the youngster. Tuchel has attended a number of Premier League games this season including those where Lewis-Skelly has featured as he draws up a list of players to call upon.

Mikel Arteta handed the left-back his senior debut in the 2-2 draw against Manchester City last September. Since then, he has gone from strength to strength in Arsenal colours this season – making 23 appearances across all competitions.

Last weekend, the left-back netted in Arsenal’s 5-1 win over Pep Guardiola’s side and sat down on the Emirates turf to copy Erling Haaland’s ‘zen’ celebration.

Gary Neville meanwhile, has compared the 18-year-old to how Patrice Evra used to play at Manchester United. “I just want to correct one thing. I said, ‘Ashley Cole’ on Sunday about Lewis-Skelly when he burst onto the scene,” the Manchester United icon said on the It’s Called Soccer podcast.
