LONDON — Arsenal has secured the future of its promising young talent, Myles Lewis-Skelly, by having him sign a new long-term contract. The 18-year-old defender, who emerged from the club’s academy, made headlines last season with his impressive debut in the senior team and has since become a notable prospect in the Premier League. The exact terms of the new deal remain undisclosed.
Myles Lewis-Skelly expressed his ambitions on Thursday, stating, “I want a legacy. I want to win everything there is to win in the game. I aim to secure trophies on the sport’s most celebrated platforms while continually learning and remaining humble, which I believe is vital.”
Having joined Arsenal’s ranks at just eight years old, Lewis-Skelly saw his dream of playing at the top level come true when he made his senior debut against Manchester City last September. Throughout the past season, he accumulated 39 first-team appearances, strengthening his position as one of England’s emerging talents.
