Arsenal are preparing to offer a new contract to brilliant teenager

In our game against Tottenham, we witnessed yet again the limitless talent and potential of Myles Lewis-Skelly.

At 18 years of age, he would have been forgiven for letting the occasion get the better of him in what was his first North London derby. This was absolutely not the case, however, as he managed to pocket not just one but two wingers during his time on the pitch.

As ever, he was equally brilliant at progressing play with the ball at his feet, which is becoming an increasingly valuable asset for us. What Gooners would have loved most about his performance came when he was about to leave the pitch. After a bit of shenanigans, as he prepared to depart, the youngster proceeded to pump up the crowd almost victoriously, despite the game being only a few minutes from stoppage time. He is undoubtedly a player destined for the top, and we would be wise to secure his long-term future.

According to Fabrizio Romano on X, that is exactly what Arsenal are planning to do in the near future. Romano confirmed that the club is working on a contract proposal for Lewis-Skelly to sign this year.

Arsenal are reportedly very happy with his development, and negotiations for the new deal will soon follow. His performances in this breakout campaign have certainly warranted a new deal, but he must maintain this momentum, as he could become a potential superstar for us in the future.

There is much to be excited about when we see the academy producing talents like Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri. Not only does this save the club significant sums of money, but it could also generate substantial revenue if we were ever to sell these players.

Returning to his contract proposal—do you all think the club should wait until the end of the season before offering new terms?

  1. Myles Lewis Skelly must be signed up on a long term deal as soon as possible, Summer at the latest as this young man is a superstar in the making, especially if he can avoid the Gunners curse.
    However his playing rime needs to be monitored to avoid this, if achieved both him and Ethan are the future of the club.

    1. I’ve seen enough. Physicality. Mentality. Technicality. Unbelievable for his age. Sign him now!
      And let’s see Skelly understudy Partey as soon as returning defenders allow, breaking up play, carrying the ball, and those unexpected balls through their defence!
      Contract add on should be a weekly cake for his granny. And hire Jolene to invent the MLS – easy on the eye, but spicy and full of surprises. Bake that contract making Manchester City – a cake named after the player.

  2. Surprisingly the gaffer appears to trust the kid, could this be a bold attempt by the gaffer to improve his man management craft.
    It could also strengthen the thinking that Arteta is more a defensive coach as opposed to an attacking one, as he quite often that not able to mould defensive players quickly into superstar, one could look at Gabriel Magahlase as an example, probably his first hand pick player as a coach.

  3. The young lad has done well and a new contract is a just reward for his efforts.However I think fans and pundits are getting completely carried away in terms of the quality of his performances and the fact that he is being talked of being world class by some , is so premature that it is laughable.A very promising youngster is my own take on MLS and that’s as far as I would go in describing his footballing ability.

    1. Grandad,

      Another well written piece by your goods self. Why are people always in a hurry to big up these young players, who are lets be honest just making there way in the game.

      I wrote a piece on another page concerning him being talked about being fast tracked into the England set up. I say just let the lad establish himself in the Arsenal team first, and just let him grow. What’s the hurry.👍
