Three Premier League Clubs That Should Sign Arsenal Star Lewis-Skelly
Arsenal may loan out their young left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly in January. Here are three Premier League teams that could benefit from signing him.
Limited Playing Time at Arsenal
Arsenal's left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly has faced limited minutes recently. Manager Mikel Arteta favors Riccardo Calafiori at left-back, likely for his defensive strength and aerial presence, which has curtailed Lewis-Skelly’s league appearances. Despite this, he has started twice in the Champions League and Carabao Cup.
"Mikel Arteta has preferred Riccardo Calafiori over Lewis-Skelly at left-back, presumably due to his defensive qualities, offering more height and strength at set-pieces."
Impact on International Prospects
Due to reduced game time, Lewis-Skelly missed out on England squad selection by Thomas Tuchel.
"A lack of game time has impacted the youngster’s chances of starring for England, with Thomas Tuchel leaving him out of his latest squad announcement."
Everton as a Potential Destination
Everton is looking to bolster their defense in January, potentially adding a left-back. Current options Vitaliy Mykolenko and Adam Aznou have not impressed this season.
- Mykolenko has yet to score or assist in 10 appearances this term.
- Lewis-Skelly could provide more energy and dynamism on the left flank.
"Everton are looking to strengthen their defence in January, with David Moyes adding a new centre-back to his wish list. But a new left-back could also be on the agenda."
Summary
Myles Lewis-Skelly’s limited role at Arsenal opens the door for a loan move, and clubs like Everton could gain from his youthful energy and potential.
