Arsenal Extends Myles Lewis-Skelly Contract, Nears Deal for Ethan Nwaneri

Arsenal has secured a new long-term contract with 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly, who emerged as a key player last season, attracting interest from Real Madrid. Lewis-Skelly's new deal ends the threat of losing him on a free transfer and highlights Arsenal's commitment to their academy talents. Following this, the club is turning its focus to extending the contract of fellow 18-year-old Ethan Nwaneri, who impressed with nine goals and two assists in 37 appearances, drawing attention from top European clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Manchester City, and Liverpool. Arsenal aims to retain Nwaneri to protect their asset and provide the player stability to continue his development under manager Mikel Arteta. Additionally, former Arsenal assistant coach Carlos Cuesta has been appointed head coach of Parma, marking a significant career step and indicating notable changes in Arsenal’s coaching and squad dynamics. The club is also preparing for potential departures and arrivals, including the likely exit of midfielder Thomas Partey and a move to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
