England’s Lewis-Skelly agrees new Arsenal deal

Myles Lewis-Skelly, the England defender, has accepted a new contract at Arsenal.

The left-back has been negotiating with the Gunners for the past few months and their current deal expires in 2026.

The 18-year-old has now agreed to the terms of an additional agreement that, once signed, will commit him to the Gunners.

It is reward for Lewis-Skelly’s incredible season last year, which saw him feature 39 times in all competitions.

Despite emerging as a midfielder through Arsenal’s academy, he made his debut against Manchester City in September. He primarily played at left-back.

Lewis-Skelly, who has previously been capped from Under-16 to U19, was given a call-up to the full England squad in March due to his performances.

He made his Three Lions debut with a 2-0 win over Albania at Wembley, becoming the youngest player to do so in history.
