Arsenal have officially announced that highly promising youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly has signed a new long-term contract with the club, reaffirming his commitment to the Gunners after a standout debut season in the first team.
The 18-year-old midfielder, a graduate of Arsenal’s famed Hale End academy, has emerged as one of the brightest talents in English football, impressing with his composure, versatility, and confidence beyond his years. His new contract is set to keep him at the Emirates until 2030.
Lewis-Skelly expressed his pride in continuing his journey with the club he joined at the age of eight.
“It’s an amazing feeling. I’ve worked so hard to reach this point and I’m thankful to everyone who’s helped me get here. This club means everything to me,” he said. “Now I want to push on and help Arsenal win everything we can.”
Over the past season, Lewis-Skelly made a name for himself with mature displays across midfield and even at left-back, earning praise from manager Mikel Arteta for his tactical intelligence and tenacity. His breakthrough performances included appearances in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, helping Arsenal in some of their most crucial fixtures of the season.
The England youth international has also recently been called up to the senior national team, scoring on his debut earlier this year—another sign of his rapidly growing reputation on the world stage.
Arsenal’s decision to tie down the youngster reflects their belief in his potential to become a future leader at the club. Despite reported interest from several European giants, including Real Madrid, Lewis-Skelly made it clear that his heart remains in North London.
“I want to be part of something special here. I want to leave a legacy at Arsenal,” he added.
As the Gunners prepare for the new season, fans can take comfort in knowing that one of their most exciting prospects will continue to wear red and white for years to come.
