Arsenal’s emerging talent, Myles Lewis-Skelly, has been at the center of a positional debate following his impressive performances for both club and country. Traditionally a midfielder, Lewis-Skelly has been deployed as a left-back under Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta this season, a move that has garnered mixed reactions.
In a recent press conference, England’s head coach, Thomas Tuchel, expressed his admiration for Lewis-Skelly’s abilities but raised concerns about his current positioning at Arsenal. Tuchel stated, “Lewis-Skelly is a fantastic player, but I believe his strengths are not fully utilized in a defensive role. He possesses qualities that make him more impactful in advanced positions.”
Arteta, on the other hand, has justified the positional shift, highlighting Lewis-Skelly’s versatility and the tactical needs of the team. He remarked, “Adapting to the role is not just on the defensive part. Physically, they’re very different demands. But he’s done it really well.”
Despite the differing viewpoints, Lewis-Skelly’s adaptability has been evident. His recent performances have showcased his ability to influence the game from various positions, reflecting his football intelligence and versatility.
As the season progresses, the discourse surrounding Lewis-Skelly’s optimal position continues. Both Arteta and Tuchel aim to harness his potential effectively, ensuring that his development aligns with both club and national team objectives.
