Martinelli Says Myles Lewis-Skelly Will Be One of the Best Players in the World
Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has expressed his full support for teammate Myles Lewis-Skelly, predicting that the young left-back has the potential to become one of the best players in the world.
Martinelli’s comments came after the team’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa on Saturday, a match in which Lewis-Skelly impressed with his performance.
Despite the disappointing result, which saw Arsenal squander a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Villa’s Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins, Martinelli was quick to praise the 18-year-old.
The match had seen Arsenal take the lead with goals from Martinelli and Kai Havertz, but Villa’s second-half fightback left the game deadlocked.
Arsenal’s hopes of a late winner were dashed when VAR ruled out Havertz’s goal, deeming that he had used his arm to turn in Mikel Merino’s shot.
Martinelli, speaking after the game, didn’t hold back in his praise for Lewis-Skelly. “We love him,” Martinelli said when asked about his young teammate.
“He’s brilliant, a star boy. We trust him. I think he’s going to be one of the best players in the world in the future.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
