Myles Lewis-Skelly has put pen to paper on his new contract, according to reports, with only Arsenal’s official announcement still pending.
Charles Watts reports on his YouTube channel that Myles Lewis-Skelly has signed his new Arsenal contract, getting his photoshoot done at London Colney on Monday.
Watts adds that he doesn’t know when the contract will actually be officially announced by Arsenal, but the deal is done.
The same journalist had initially broken the news that the contract had been agreed in principle last week, adding that Lewis-Skelly was always keen to stay at the club.
At the time, David Ornstein also confirmed for The Athletic that Lewis-Skelly was close to signing a new deal, reporting that the contract would make the youngster one of the world’s best-paid young players.
Ornstein wrote that Mikel Arteta was vital to the renewal, with Watts reporting that Andrea Berta was the one actually leading the talks. So it was a joint effort to get it all sorted.
Lewis-Skelly himself was represented in negotiations by his mother, Marcia Lewis.
The 18-year-old made 39 appearances for the Arsenal first team in 2024/25, despite starting the season in the u21s. He’s set for a lot more where that came from in the coming campaign.
