Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly signed a new deal with the club. The 18-year-old left-back had been talking with Arsenal bosses for several months about staying longer. His current contract was set to end in 2026 but the new agreement keeps him at the team for more years.
Lewis-Skelly played 39 games last season after breaking into the first team. He made his debut against Manchester City in September and mostly played as a left-back. Arsenal coaches moved him from his original midfield position to defense during his development.
His strong performances earned him a spot on the England national team in March. Lewis-Skelly had already played for England youth teams from Under-16 through Under-19 levels. He scored during a 2-0 victory over Albania at Wembley Stadium and became the youngest player ever to score on his England debut.
The young defender received recognition for his excellent season. He was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award alongside other promising talents like Morgan Rogers and Liam Delap. The nomination shows how much Lewis-Skelly improved during his breakthrough campaign with Arsenal.
