Summary
- Myles Lewis-Skelly impressed in England's midfield against Spain recently.
- Thomas Tuchel believes Lewis-Skelly's new midfield role suits him best.
- Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker also lauded the young Arsenal player's form.
Myles Lewis-Skelly made a notable return to the England squad last Saturday, starting in midfield for a match against Spain. Manager Thomas Tuchel has expressed strong approval of Lewis-Skelly's recent performances.
Tuchel indicated that Lewis-Skelly's success at club level for Arsenal in a midfield capacity earned him this international opportunity. He specifically noted that this midfield role appears to be a better fit for the 20-year-old than his previous position at left-back.
"He did very well for Arsenal on this position. I think it suits him a bit better than left-back. He was just very good and had a good match today," Tuchel stated after the game.
Renowned pundits Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker have echoed Tuchel's sentiments. Shearer remarked on Lewis-Skelly's "remarkable" rise into both Arsenal's and England's midfield this season. Lineker praised his contributions in midfield, particularly against Spain, highlighting his strong performance alongside Elliot Anderson.
