The 18-year-old was one of the bright notes of a frustrating campaign for the Gunners. He only made his senior debut in September but ended the campaign as a key player for Mikel Arteta's side, earning his first cap for England in the process. Lewis-Skelly's performances saw him named on the six-man shortlist for the PFA Young Player of the Year award on Thursday and big things are now expected of him in the coming years. The teenager only had one year remaining on his first professional contract and there was some concern among the Arsenal faithful following recent reported interest from Real Madrid. However, those fears have been allayed with the BBC claiming that he is set to put pen to paper on a new contract at the Emirates.

Lewis-Skelly featured in 39 first-team matches for Arsenal during his breakout season, including 23 in the Premier League. He scored his first senior goal in February during a 5-1 win over Manchester City, before marking it by imitating Erling Haaland's signature celebration. It was not a perfect campaign for Lewis-Skelly though. He was sent off twice, in defeats by Wolves and West Ham. Lewis-Skelly's first red card was later rescinded upon appeal. However, Arteta felt it necessary to sub him off to avoid the prospect of a third dismissal after he was shown a yellow card — one of six for the season — in Arsenal's 7-1 win over PSV Eindhoven in March. Lewis-Skelly is now enjoying his holidays after making his third appearance for England earlier this month in the 3-1 defeat to Senegal. He has quickly become a fan favourite after coming through the club's Hale End Academy.
