Myles Lewis-Skelly Set to Sign New Arsenal Deal

Arsenal are close to securing Myles Lewis-Skelly for the long term. All the documents are ready for the 18-year-old to sign a new contract. Lewis-Skelly has been one of the best young players in the squad. The club expects him to play a bigger role in the coming season.

CONTRACT AGREEMENT REACHED

After months of speculation, Lewis-Skelly is expected to sign a new long-term deal. This contract includes a significant pay raise and commits his future to Arsenal. He made his first-team debut last September. During the 2024/25 season, he played a big role for the Gunners, often filling in at left-back due to injuries. His performances have been outstanding, and he is now considered one of the best young left-backs in the world.

LEWIS-SKELLY’S IMPACT AND ARSENAL’S OUTLOOK

Lewis-Skelly’s development has been rapid. By the end of last season, he was a full England international, even scoring for his country. Alongside fellow academy graduate Ethan Nwaneri, he helped Arsenal through a challenging season. Key players like Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were missing at times, and Arsenal had several left-back injuries. Despite these challenges, Arsenal finished the 2024/25 Premier League campaign in third place, just four points behind Manchester City, securing a Champions League spot for next season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR ARSENAL AND LEWIS-SKELLY?

With his future secured, Lewis-Skelly can focus on his development under Mikel Arteta. Arsenal are expected to be active in the summer transfer window. However, Lewis-Skelly’s new deal suggests he will be an important part of the team for the 2025/26 season. The Gunners’ next match is the Community Shield against Manchester City before the Premier League restarts. Arsenal aim to close the gap at the top, and fans are eager to see how Lewis-Skelly’s rise will help the team in the title race.
