England boss believes Arsenal player has found his best position now

England manager Thomas Tuchel believes 20-year-old Arsenal player Myles Lewis-Skelly has found his ideal position now, according to comments made after England's recent match against Spain. Lewis-Skelly made his first appearance for England in nearly a year and started in midfield during that game. Speaking post-match, Tuchel praised Lewis-Skelly's performances for both club and country, stating that the young midfielder's new role suits him better than his previous left-back position.

Arsenal and England fans, as well as pundits Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker, have all commended Lewis-Skelly's form. Lineker noted that the young Gunners star's rise this season to the midfield has been remarkable, filling the shoes of Declan Rice and even handling a significant responsibility against Spain. Lewis-Skelly has returned to his preferred position at Arsenal, with the team requiring a left-back less at the moment. He has started five times in five victories for Arsenal this season in the 2026/27 campaign.

England will face the Czech Republic away on Tuesday night, and if given another starting chance, Lewis-Skelly will aim to make another strong impression for his national team.
