Gary Cahill Foresees “Bright Future” for Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly

Former Premier League defender Gary Cahill has stated that Arsenal’s teenage player, Myles Lewis-Skelly, possesses a “bright future”. Cahill made these remarks during an appearance on BBC Radio 5 Live, following the Gunners’ 3-0 victory against Monaco at home. Cahill highlighted the manager’s confidence in the young player, quoting: “The manager obviously has a lot of faith in him [Myles Lewis-Skelly] to start him in a game like that with Kieran Tierney on the bench.” He continued, stating: “He had other options and he chose to go with the young boy. It looks like he has a very bright future at 18-years-old.” Cahill also remarked on Bukayo Saka’s maturity, stating: “It’s interesting to hear Bukayo Saka speak about him like he is 35 [himself] when he is only 23 still.” He then praised Saka, saying: “He impresses me so much, Saka. The way he carries himself. The way he performs. Everything he does at 23-years-old is unreal.” Cahill concluded by reiterating a point made by Saka regarding Lewis-Skelly’s prospects: “But, like Saka has said [about Lewis-Skelly], as long as he keeps is feet on the ground and keeps learning then he has a really bright future.”
