Arteta coy over Lewis-Skelly's Arsenal future after 'emotional' celebration
LONDON: Mikel Arteta refused to confirm if Myles Lewis-Skelly will remain at Arsenal after the teenager’s “emotional” goal celebration in a friendly against Como.
Mikel Arteta remained tight-lipped about Myles Lewis-Skelly's future at Arsenal after the teenager's emotional goal celebration in a friendly match against Como. The 19-year-old, who has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Chelsea following limited Premier League starts last season, signed a long-term contract with the club last year.
His emotional displays, including a heart gesture towards the fans, have fueled speculation about his future at the Emirates Stadium. However, Arteta dismissed such speculation, stating that seeing a player emotional is a positive sign, indicating that the player is attracting interest and performing well. Arteta emphasized that Lewis-Skelly is a very emotional player, a trait he displayed even during a hand gesture celebration against Manchester City last season.
Despite difficulties in breaking into Arsenal's first team last season, Lewis-Skelly played crucial roles in several league wins and the Champions League semi-final second-leg against Atletico Madrid. His versatility and consistent performance throughout the pre-season have been assets for the team.
