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.”
The Premier League has called out Manchester City for a breach of its rules. The Premier League released an official statement which confirmed Manchester City’s breach of rules at the competition during the nine-season period.

– During the Premier League’s investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld).”
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.

He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
