Throughout the season, we'll be catching up with our young Gunners to find out more about their route to our academy. This week, Myles Lewis-Skelly discusses getting his scholarship, his mum's podcast and FA Youth Cup success.
I first joined the academy at under-9s level, after I had trialled at Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Since then I’ve been patient, keeping my head down and working. I don’t think there have been significant downs throughout my journey because I don’t see anything as downs – I just see them as learning opportunities.
Before I joined Arsenal, I knew Ethan Nwaneri because we were at Chelsea together and we’ve kind of gone up the ranks together.
