    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Lewis-Skelly has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past season; going from making his Arsenal debut, to becoming a first-team regular, starring in the Champions League, and then playing for England for the first time. But the 18-year-old, who has received rave reviews in recent months, is clearly ambitious, and if the Gunners want to tie him down to a new deal, it needs to be a good offer.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Lewis-Skelly played much of his youth football as a central midfielder and can be utilised in attacking and defensive roles. But he has been a revelation since being deployed at left-back this season.
