Who is Myles Lewis-Skelly?
Born in Denmark Hill, south London, Lewis-Skelly signed his first professional contract in October 2023 and has made around 91 appearances for Arsenal for one goal. A new long-term deal was announced in June 2025, though no expiry date appears in the sources we checked.
Age, nationality and club
He is 20 as of 11 November 2026 (born 26 September 2006) and stands 1.78m tall. For England he has 10 senior caps and one goal, scored against Albania on 21 March 2025, with four of those caps coming in 2026. He wears No.49 at Arsenal and is not on loan.
Position and style of play
Left-footed, he has been used both in central midfield and at left-back. Reports around Arsenal describe Mikel Arteta converting him into an inverted left-back and also pitting him against the other midfielders for the spot next to Declan Rice, while Calafiori and Hincapié are described as dominant at left-back. Many of those pieces are undated, so read this as a trend rather than a definitive current pecking order. Since we have not verified a specific 2026/27 match performance, we rely on the recorded numbers: 23 league appearances and one goal in 2024/25, and in 2025/26 an assist apiece in the Champions League and two in the League Cup according to Soccerway.
2026/27 numbers against last season
As of 1 November, Wikipedia lists seven Premier League appearances, two in the League Cup, two in Europe and one in another competition, all without a goal. We could not find reliable minutes or starts, so those are blank. Last season he played 20 Premier League games, three in the FA Cup, three in the League Cup and 10 in the Champions League, again without a league goal. The trend is fewer appearances each season, which is the first thing to understand about this profile.

Strengths and areas to improve
- Strengths: left-footed ball carrying, playing both midfield and left-back, big-match experience at 20, regular England involvement.
- To improve: end product (no goals or assists so far in 2026/27) and securing minutes in a crowded Arsenal midfield. No measured data supports these points; they come from appearance records and reports.

Could he suit a Turkish Süper Lig side?
Not realistically. A move to the Süper Lig is not financially realistic for an academy graduate at a top Premier League club, so we are not nominating a Turkish club. Tactically, an inverted left-back or a ball-carrying No.8 in a three-man midfield would be the natural fit, but that is a profile observation, not a reported negotiation.

GegenSports view
The data show a versatile young player whose 2026/27 minutes are currently limited and whose end product has yet to appear. His profile is worth monitoring, but without minutes data any firm verdict would be premature; the next question is whether his playing time recovers.
