"He's special. It's like he was made in a lab." Declan Rice heaps praise on Miles Lewis-Skelly's potential
Arsenal's young full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly has made a swift impact in the starting lineup for the Gunners.
Arsenal fans continue to marvel at the resilience and audacity of the 18-year-old, and his teammates are equally impressed. Club leader Declan Rice didn’t hold back in his compliments for the budding star.
Quote. "Miles Lewis-Skelly can reach the top, this guy is just special. For an 18-year-old to be so effective, composed, and strong — it's like he was made in a lab! I told him that the other day, it's just crazy how good he is.
He can play with both feet, creates chances, scores goals. I think he wasn’t feeling great during the match against Ipswich, yet he still played 90 minutes — that deserves respect. He’s one of my good friends here, and he’s a special player," Rice told Fabrizio Romano.
Reminder. Since making his debut for Arsenal’s senior team, Lewis-Skelly has played 11 matches, five of which were starts.
