Myles Lewis-Skelly has signed a new five-year contract with Arsenal that will see him committed to the Emirates Stadium until June 2030, Afrosport reports.
The 18-year-old made his breakthrough during the 2024-25 season after injuries to multiple players capable of playing at left-back, such as Riccardo Calafiori, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
He featured 39 times in all competitions, with the Gunners finishing second in the Premier League for the third season in a row and also reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 16 years.
He also made his break with the England national team against Albania in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers back in March and scored in the game.
“I’m so proud and happy,” Lewis-Skelly told the club website.
“I know those words are simple, but I think they sum up how I feel signing for this club. I’m a fan, and it’s like a dream come true.
“I’ve embodied the values of Hale End and come through. I’ve still got a lot of years ahead of me, so if I can keep staying humble and being a good person, that’s the most important thing to me.”
He added: “I know I’ve taken a lot of experience from the games about the positive moments, the mistakes that I’ve made.
“I’m definitely more ready now for the next season. I just want to keep learning and keep improving.
“I want a legacy. I want to win everything there is to win in the game. I want to win trophies on the biggest stages whilst being a person that’s always learning and stays grounded, which is so important.”

Lewis Skelly’s contract extension comes as Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey opted not to renew his deal in North London and will leave as a free agent at the end of the month, while manager Mikel Arteta is looking to close deals for Christian Norgaard and Martin Zubimendi from Brentford and Real Sociedad, respectively.
