Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has spoken about the future of Myles Lewis-Skelly. He has urged the 19-year-old player to stay with the team despite interest from Manchester United.
Rumours have linked the versatile academy graduate with a move to the Red Devils. Although some sources have already dismissed this information, the player's future has once again become a topic of discussion.
"Last year, it was interesting to watch Myles because I think he's probably never faced anything like this before," said Wilshere.
"Throughout his time in the academy, he and Ethan Nwaneri were probably always the best players in their age group."
"The academy has done a really good job of giving him the right challenges at the right time, but then suddenly he faced some difficulties. I was very pleased with how Myles dealt with that."
"Forget about his ability and all that; the only thing I love about Myles is his character and personality, and he never let that leave him."
"When I was watching on TV, sometimes Myles would be on the substitutes’ bench, and he was still enjoying every moment. He’s a character who wants to feel the love, and he gives a lot of love back too."
"At the end of the season, he obviously found his way, playing in the Champions League final, in my opinion, in his best position."
"I would love for him to stay and fight for it because I believe he is good enough to find his way into this team. I believe he can do it," the former player concluded.
