Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta, thinks that the rapid climb of Myles Lewis-Skelly should be inspired for other young players.
Lewis-Skelly made his first team debut in September and six months later Today, called the Senior Team of England for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
The 18 -year -old made the position on the left back to the Emirates with a series of impressive performance and Arteta was delighted that his progress has been recognized.
He said: “We are all really happy because it is a very beautiful story and a story that gives a lot of hope to many young players and that in six, seven months, your career can change considerably, radically for good. So it’s something that people are inspired by. I think it did not happen because he was lucky. I think he pushed each opportunity to occur and the way he did.
“Very proud. Very proud of him. It’s a huge moment for him and for the club too. One of our graduates receives the call to England is a massive thing, therefore very happy. »»

Do not compare Lewis -Skelly with Nwaneri – Arteta
Another teenager from Arsenal, Ethan Nwaneri, was also to be called, but this time missed and was rather appointed in the under 21s.
Arteta is sure that Nwaneri’s time will come, but insisted that it was important that he and Lewis-Skelly were allowed to progress individually.
He added: “All comparison there, I don’t think it’s just. I think they have a very similar path, because obviously, they have played so many years together, but after that, they will have different moments and each career will be unique and individual for them and they will have to win it and what we will not reflect or affect the other in a positive or negative way, which must be completely independent.
“It’s great, it’s a luxury to have someone you spend so much time, confidence and love next to you during this trip, to use it in this way, that’s all and the rest is a way from afar.”
Chelsea Game will be difficult, says the boss Arteta
Arsenal faces Chelsea on Sunday to rely on their progress in the middle of the week in the Champions League and to win his first first league victory in a month.
Arteta knows that it will not be easy, however, against the side of Enzo Maresca.
He said: “I think two teams who want to be very dominant in the way of playing are very aggressive on the high press and the way we want to have the ball. A lot of individual quality on this ground, so it is a question of imposing what you want and the direction you want to take the game and keep them very far from their strengths. I think it will also be a key thing.
Arsenal won the corresponding 5-0 luminaire last season, but Arteta does not expect a rehearsal.
“I think it will be a very different game,” he said. “I think the way they have developed as a team are also very impressive, which they have done in coach staff, the amount of talent they have in the team. So yes, a really difficult match.
