Myles Lewis-Skelly Signs Long-Term Contract Extension At Arsenal

‎Arsenal announced on Thursday that Myles Lewis-Skelly has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

‎The 18-year-old has committed to a five-year deal at the Emirates following a breakthrough first season with the senior team.

‎”I’m so proud and happy,” Lewis-Skelly told the Arsenal club website.

‎”I know those words are simple, but I think they sum up how I feel signing for this club. I’m a fan and it’s like a dream come true.

‎”I’ve embodied the values of Hale End and come through. I’ve still got a lot of years ahead of me, so if I can keep staying humble and being a good person, that’s the most important thing to me.”

‎Lewis-Skelly broke into Arsenal’s first team in December and established himself as Mikel Arteta’s first-choice left-back.

‎He made a total of 39 appearances across all competitions, including 23 in the Premier League. In March, Lewis-Skelly received his first senior England call-up and made history as the youngest player to score on their debut, netting in a 2-0 victory over Albania at Wembley.

‎”I know I’ve taken a lot of experience from the games about the positive moments, the mistakes that I’ve made,” he added.

‎”I’m definitely more ready now for the next season. I just want to keep learning and keep improving.

‎”I want a legacy. I want to win everything there is to win in the game. I want to win trophies on the biggest stages whilst being a person that’s always learning and stays grounded, which is so important.”
