Myles Lewis-Skelly makes Arsenal history with first four Premier League starts
Myles Lewis-Skelly debuted for the senior team in 2024!
Arsenal finally secured English top division title during the 2025-26 season. Their previous one came in 2004 in what is also considered their ‘Invincibles’ era. They also got to the UEFA Champions League final, but lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the penalty shootout.
The Gunners have once again started their season with strong performances both in the Premier League and the elite European competition. They took down Manchester City to clinch the FA Community Shield. The Mikel Arteta-led side then went on to win consecutive matches against Coventry City, Aston Villa and Chelsea.
One of the players who have been a crucial part of the squad for Arsenal during these moments is Myles Lewis-Skelly. The 19-year-old debuted for the club in 2024 and has now become a regular starter under Mikel Arteta since the beginning of the 2026-27 season. He scored the first league goal for the Gunners at just 18 years and 129 days old. This goal also made him one of the youngest players to score a goal against the reigning Premier League champions.
