Paul Merson says Arsenal should be proud of Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly

Merson was speaking on about the impact made by Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

🍎Saka is one of the biggest success stories from the Hale End setup, becoming a star for club and country.

🅰Meanwhile, teenage duo Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly are both becoming established first-team players at Arsenal.

﷽Nwaneri has made 13 appearances for the Gunners this season, scoring four times, while Lewis-Skelly shone on his first Champions League start in Wednesday night’s 3-0 win over Monaco.

🌌At the age of 18 years and 76 days, Lewis-Skelly became the youngest player to start a Champions League game for Arsenal since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain against Olympiakos in 2011.

💝Merson told Sky Sports after the match: “There will be a lot of proud people at Arsenal, people involved in the academy.

𒆙“To bring players through like Bukayo Saka, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri, young players playing in the Champions League, especially when you are talking about a team of this magnitude.

ꦑ“It’s hard to do now so everyone at the club should be proud of themselves.

♛“Watching them play, you wouldn’t know they are kids. Lewis-Skelly gave the ball away once just before he came off and he was unlucky with that.

♊“Then Nwaneri comes on, gets on the ball and just plays. Fair play to everyone at Arsenal.”

What Saka has said about Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri

Saka told TNT Sport after the win over Monaco that Lewis-Skelly belongs at the highest levelജ, and told him as much in the build-up to the match.

💮“What he’s doing, we see it in training,” Saka said. “I was pleased with him, he was a big part of the first goal.”

𒁏Saka then shared what Lewis-Skelly needs to do to build on his impressive display against Monaco.

𝓰“He’s very bright,” he said. “He just needs to keep the same head that he’s got.

💞“His mentality is top, he’s always asking questions, eager to learn. I’m so proud of him.”

And earlier this month, Saka said Nwaneri is a “really top talent” and backed him to “go to the top.”

🎀Not only are Arsenal great at this moment in time, but their future is incredibly bright.
