Arsenal has secured a new long-term contract with 18-year-old midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly, extending his stay at the club until June 2030. The agreement follows a breakthrough 2024/25 season in which Lewis-Skelly established himself as a key player for the first team, featuring in both under-21 matches and high-profile Champions League fixtures, including a quarter-final at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu. Represented by his mother Marcia Lewis, who negotiated the deal, Lewis-Skelly rejected interest from major European clubs, notably Real Madrid, to remain with Arsenal. The contract reportedly makes him one of the highest-paid teenagers globally. Arsenal celebrated the signing by inviting Lewis-Skelly's family, friends, and former coaches to a surprise event. The England defender has expressed his ambition to build a lasting legacy at the club, where he has been associated for a decade since joining the youth ranks.
