An exciting Arsenal youngster has been spotted in first-team training ahead of tonight’s important tie with Luton Town at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta knows that nothing other than a win will suffice, otherwise the hard-fought draw against Manchester City on Sunday will count for very little.
And if the handbrake was well and truly on against City, we can expect to see a much more free-flowing performance tonight.
It seems as if Arteta does have some important decisions to make, with some players perhaps needing a rest, and others eager for minutes.
Gabriel Jesus may start centrally instead of Kai Havertz, who might make a rare drop to the bench given all his minutes in recent weeks.
Similarly, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Thomas Partey made his first start since August last year in place of Jorginho in the pivot.
Arteta certainly has options with all these players returning from injury, but that hasn’t stopped him calling up one exciting Arsenal youngster to senior training before Luton.
Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly spotted in senior training before Luton clash
Arsenal uploaded a series of photos from training yesterday, and Myles Lewis-Skelly could be seen tussling with the club’s biggest stars.
The 17-year-old has a growing reputation around London Colney, a player who is envisioned as a starter for both Arsenal and England.
And to that point, Ian Wright was calling for Lewis-Skelly to get more first team chances earlier in the season, a talent he really enjoys.
It remains to be seen if there will be a spot for the youngster on the bench tonight given all the numbers available right now.
But along with the likes of Ethan Nwaneri and perhaps even Ayden Heaven, it’s clear that Arsenal have some youngsters really knocking on the first team door.
Fans will expect all three of those names to feature prominently in this summer’s pre-season, players who will be hoping to alter the club’s transfer plans.
That all being said, Mikel Arteta is expected to make as many as three changes to his Arsenal XI tonight.
It’s a vital game for The Gunners, and Arteta certainly won’t be taking Luton lightly, especially given they’ve now scored in a remarkable 18 league games in a row.
