Declan Rice heaps compares Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly to a Tottenham hero

Myles Lewis-Skelly became the younඣgest Arsenal playerꦉ to start a North London Derby since Cesc Fabregas nearly 20 years ago.

The 18-year-old i♔s one of the finest young talents in the country, and he has produced a few excellent performances for the Gunners this seaso🐠n.

However, his display against Tottenham on Wednesday night was by far his best.

Lewis-Skelly didn’t look fazed by the occasion at all. He was incredibly compoꦑsed on the ball, took on Spurs players at will and earned a deserved standing ovation from the home fans.

Rice, who had a brilliant game himself, was in awe of Lewis-S🦩kelly’s performance, so much so that he compared him to Tottenham hero Mousa Dembele.

He s🎃aid on TNT Sports: “The young boy Myles, again, he’s just unbelievable. For 18, what he showed tonight was just ridiculous.

“It’s scary! The 18-year-olds now, they’ve got no fear whatsoever. He’s got that Mousa Dembele trai🦹t where he uses his body to get away from🐓 stuff.

“Sometimes, yeah,𓆉 okay, it’s risky, but to show that at 18, the personality and character, honestly, he’s unbelievable.”

Myles Lewis-Skelly’s stats vs Tottenham are unbelievable

It’s hard enough for an 18-year-old to play in any game in the Premier League, bu🀅t the North Lꦉondon Derby makes it all the more difficult.

However, Lewis-Skelly made it look easy agaꩵinst Tottenham on Wednesday night.

The Hale End graduate had 48 touches of the ball and completed 30 of his 32 a🐷ttempted passes, maintaining a stunning 94 per cent passing accuracy.

The teenager made four tackles, two clearances, and won all but one of his duels. He also wasn’t dribbled past a single time in the entire game, which is really impressive considering he was up against Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson.

Lewis-Skelly has announced himself on the big ꦐstage now, and we are convinced that he is going to be a big star for Arsenal and England in the coming years.
