William Saliba says he never expected ‘scary’ Arsenal player to be this good
Arsenal have fallen short in the Premier League and the Champions League this season, but it hasn’t all been doom and gloom for the Gunners.
Indeed, the nort🔴h London club have had a few bright sparks this season.
Declan Rice earned massive praise for his performances against Real Madrid recently, while Myles Lewis-Skelly has been hugely impressive in his debut campaign.
Speaking to Stadium Astro, William Saliba has been discussing Myles Lewis-Skelly’s breakout꧟ year, and he says tha🅰t he’s been truly shocked by how good this young man is.
Indeed, Saliba says he really didn’t expect Lewis-Skelly to be as good as he has proven to be this season, claiming🐬 that he’s been so impressed by the youngster.

Saliba spoke highly of his teammate, claiming that he never expected him to beꦿ this good.
Bukayo Saka recently called Lewis-Skelly a ‘scary’ talent, and tౠhere’s plenty of reason to be exciteꦰd about this young man.
“No, he’s really good,𒅌 like even last season when he came with us to train. I didn’t expect him to be that good, for his first season he’s impressed me a lot. The way he plays, the way he turns, he’s never scared in any context. E𝐆ven the way he talks outside the pitch, it’s like ‘this kid is the truth.’,” Saliba said.
Arsenal’s academy stars
Saliba says h♔e never expected 🐻Lewis-Skelly to be this good, but perhaps he should’ve seen this coming.
Indeed, Arsenal’s academy continuously produces top talents, and Lewis-Skelly was earmarked ♓for some time as a top prospꦛect.
Of cou⛦rse, Lewis-Skelly isn’t the only star to have come out of the Hale End system in recent years.

Ethan Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly cou🦋ld well be the future spine of this Arsenal team, while there’s also another young talent c🗹oming through.
Max Dowman looks like a future star too, and if Arsenal can harness his talent, the Gunners could well be set in the midfield for the nജext 10 or 15 years.
It’s cer♊tainly an exciting time for Arsenal and their academy.
