Emelec Overview

Former England defender Micah Richards has lavished significant praise on Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly following his highly impressive performance for the national team during their recent Nations League victory. The pundit described the versatile midfielder as 'unbelievable' and firmly insisted he possesses far too much quality to simply remain a substitute under Mikel Arteta at club level.

Arsenal have officially confirmed that Mikel Arteta has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new contract that runs until June 2030. The Spaniard has been rewarded for leading the Gunners to their first Premier League title in over two decades, cementing his place as the leader of a new era in North London.

Mikel Merino was the man of the hour for Spain once again, coming off the bench to secure a dramatic 2-1 victory over Croatia in Split. Despite his match-winning brace, the Arsenal midfielder has opened up about the personal challenges he faces while playing a secondary role for both club and country.
