Myles Lewis-Skelly’s performances for Arsenal this season have been seriously impressive and look to have caught the eye of England manager Thomas Tuchel.

The 18-year-old netted his first senior goal against Manchester City as Mikel Arteta’s team thrashed the defending champions 5-1 at the Emirates.

Lewis-Skelly is now quickly announcing himself as one of England’s hottest prospects and he is surely putting himself in line for a call-up for the Three Lions.

The teenager’s emergence from left-back could be a major boost for Tuchel with England having struggled to find a suitable option for the left side of the defence.

England to step up Myles Lewis-Skelly scouting plans

England manager Thomas Tuchel is ready to step up his plans to scout the performances of Myles Lewis-Skelly, according to .

The FA have been left super impressed by the full-back’s recent displays for Arsenal and he is seen as the potential answer to England’s left-back issue.

Lewis Hall at Newcastle United has also emerged as another option with Kieran Trippier and Luke Shaw having filled that role at Euro 2024.

TBR Football reported last month that Tuchel has been hugely impressed with Lewis-Skelly and the youngster could be part of the next England squad.

The England manager was not in attendance at the Emirates to watch Arsenal beat Man City but instead, he was in Milan watching the Derby della Madonnina where Kyle Walker was in action.

How good was Myles Lewis-Skelly vs Man City?

Lewis-Skelly was excellent against Man City and enjoyed perhaps his best performance so far in an Arsenal shirt.

The youngster claimed the Man of the Match award for his display and netted his first goal for the North London club.

Lewis-Skelly had his three-match ban overturned having initially been sent off against Wolves following a very controversial decision from Micheal Oliver.
