"Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly has been one of the major success stories in Mikel Arteta's side over the last year or so. At the start of last season, the teenager was on the periphery of Arsenal's squad, hoping to get a first-team debut and pick up minutes here and there: now, he's a fully-established member of Thomas Tuchel's England squad and one of the recognised in FourFourTwo's list of the best left-backs in the world."
"but with Riccardo Calafiori back in the side this season, it seems as if Arteta is going in a new direction. The Basque began his managerial career relying on Tierney and even Bukayo Saka overlapping from full-back, before Zinchenko changed the game to add numerical superiority to the centre and now, we're back where we started with Calafiori and new signing Piero Hincapie in the fold, it appears Arteta wants more width from his left-back once again."
Myles Lewis-Skelly rose from a peripheral squad member to a first-team regular, signing a new contract and earning England recognition. He originally broke into Arsenal's side as an inverted left-back during an injury crisis, displacing Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney. Riccardo Calafiori has started more this season, and Piero Hincapie's arrival indicates a tactical shift toward providing more width from the left-back position. MilanLive.it reports Arsenal are monitoring Italian teenager Davide Bartesaghi and are willing to compete with major clubs for his signature. Arteta has suggested Lewis-Skelly gained defensive minutes partly by chance.
