In early July, Arsenal left back Myles Lewis-Skelly renewed his contract with the club, rewarding him for an incredible 2024-25 season in which he made the step up from academy to first team in style and played over 2,000 minutes.
The 18-year-old impressed since making his first Premier League start against Everton in December, putting in a man-of-the-match performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals and even becoming the youngest player to score on his senior debut for England in March.
So, amid reported transfer interest from Real Madrid, you would think that when it came to negotiating his new contract Lewis-Skelly and his representatives would have all the evidence they needed to cement their case for the best possible deal after such a breakthrough campaign.
