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.
It began with his three consecutive league starts of late, against Everton, Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town, and the now 18-year-old has the physicality, defensive acumen and ball-playing skill of a player far beyond his tender years.
