“It shouldn’t be happening really” – Gary Neville names Arsenal star who mesmerises him

Gary Neville recently heaped praise on Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly. He named the 18-year-old his Premier League Young Player of the Year.

Lewis-Skelly came through the Gunners’ academy and made his debut earlier this season. The then 17-year-old impressed highly and has now become the first-choice left-back at the club. He has put in some exceptional performances against the likes of Real Madrid.

On The Overlap US, former Manchester United right-back Gary Neville heaped praise on Lewis-Skelly, saying (via Arsenal Insider):

Lewis-Skelly has made 37 senior appearances across competitions for Arsenal, scoring one goal and providing two assists.

Lewis-Skelly plays as a left-back but often drifts inside in midfield to make a double pivot with one of their midfielders. He also played in midfield for one half for England on his debut against Albania in March this year.

After the game, the Three Lions manager Thomas Tuchel said that Lewis-Skelly’s best position is midfield.

Lewis-Skelly will likely next be in action on Sunday, May 18, when the Gunners host Newcastle United in the Premier League.
