Breakthrough Season

Lewis-Skelly, who primarily plays as a left-back, made his debut for Arsenal in September 2024 against Manchester City. Despite initially being trained as a midfielder in Arsenal's academy, he has excelled in his defensive role.

International Recognition

His outstanding performances did not go unnoticed on the international stage. In March, Lewis-Skelly earned a call-up to the full England squad, a significant step up from his previous caps at the Under-16 to U19 levels. He made history by becoming the youngest player to score on his full Three Lions debut in a 2-0 win against Albania at Wembley.

Awards and Accolades

Lewis-Skelly's contributions have also earned him a nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year award. He is in contention alongside other rising stars such as Morgan Rogers, Liam Delap, Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez, and Ethan Nwaneri. This nomination further highlights his potential and the bright future ahead.

Commitment to Arsenal

With his current contract set to expire in 2026, this new agreement ensures that Lewis-Skelly will continue to develop and contribute to Arsenal's success. The club and fans alike are excited to see how this talented young player will shape the future of the team.
