Back in September at the end of a particularly fractious draw between Manchester City and Arsenal, Erling Haaland saw a 17-year-old debutant intent on squaring up to him and enquired, ‘who the f*** are you?’.
Now, both he and the Premier League are fully aware of Myles Lewis-Skelly, a mega-talent whose breakthrough has been quietly anticipated by Arsenal insiders.
As seen in his three consecutive league starts of late, against Everton, Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town, the now 18-year-old has the physicality, defensive acumen and ball-playing skill of a player far beyond his tender years.
