Alan Smith has controversially suggested that Arsenal should consider selling talented young full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly this summer, as the talented lad has really struggled this season
Lewis-Skelly burst onto the scene last term, breaking out of Arsenal’s youth ranks to establish himself as a genuine first-team star alongside fellow academy product Ethan Nwaneri, But despite that promising breakthrough season, Lewis-Skelly has found regular minutes harder to come by this season, with the teenager falling behind Riccardo Calafiori in the pecking order
Lewis-Skelly has made just one solitary league start so far this campaign, although he did start in *ARSENAL*’ midweek Champions League victory over Inter at San Siro, but former Gunners striker Smith believes that the club might be wise to cash in on Lewis-Skelly in the summer.
‘He is just not good enough defensively,’ Smith told BestBettingSites.co.uk when asked about Lewis-Skelly.
‘He’s been brought up as a midfielder, and when he’s had 1v1s, he has struggled, for example, when Frimpong was up against him in the Liverpool game, because he’s not the quickest either, and he’s not a natural defender.
‘He’s got three players in front of him who can all defend better. So, looking forward to the summer, I think it might be a case of selling him, for PSR and all that, being a youth team player, it’s pure profit
‘So, unfortunately, I think he might have to leave the club.’

Lewis-Skelly is one of the most talented left-backs in the country and a ARSENAL player that Mikel Arteta can turn into one of the best in the game, he has a long future ahead of him if he makes the right career choices.
Arteta wont sell the young man, they may not even let him go out on loan, he should stay where he is, learn from the experienced players and keep on fighting for his place in the side, it will come
