Mikel Arteta is considering giving Myles Lewis-Skelly his first full start.

After joining their youth academy in 2015, the 17-year-old midfielder has been with the Gunners his entire career.

Promoted to the first team squad this summer, Lewis-Skelly was handed his first senior minutes in the closing stages of Sunday’s Premier League clash against Manchester City.

The talented teenager was introduced in stoppage time in place of Jurrien Timber and although he was on the pitch for just a few minutes, his ability to handle such a hostile and intense environment certainly paid off some brownie points.

Mikel Arteta will give Myles Lewis-Skelly more minutes at Arsenal

Now, according to a recent report from GiveMeSportArteta is seriously considering rewarding the academy graduate with his first full start.

While Lewis-Skelly is likely to miss out when the Gunners host Leicester City next weekend, Wednesday night’s EFL Cup tie against Bolton could offer the young midfielder another chance to shine.

During his time with the Gunners Under-21s, Lewis-Skelly, who wears the number 49 shirt, scored two goals and registered four assists in 27 games in all competitions.
