Mikel Arteta is contemplating giving Myles Lewis-Skelly his first complete start.

The 17-year-old midfielder has been with the Gunners for the entirety of his career, having joined their development academy in 2015.

Lewis-Skelly was awarded his first senior minutes during the final phases of Sunday’s Premier League match against Manchester City, after being promoted to the first team this summer.

The talented adolescent was substituted for Jurrien Timber during stoppage time, and despite his brief appearance on the pitch, his capacity to navigate such a hostile and intense environment undoubtedly earned him some admiration.

Arteta is currently contemplating the possibility of awarding the academy graduate his first full start, according to a recent report from GiveMeSport.

Despite the fact that Lewis-Skelly is expected to be ineligible for the Gunners’ upcoming match against Leicester City, the youthful midfielder may have another opportunity to impress during Wednesday night’s EFL Cup match against Bolton.

Lewis-Skelly, who wears the number 49 jersey, scored two goals and registered four assists in 27 games across all competitions while playing for the Gunners’ under-21s.
