Declan Rice Reveals His Fearless Teammate That He Always Protects

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has spoken highly of Myles Lewis-Skelly following the youngster’s sensational debut for England. The 18-year-old made history as the youngest player ever to score on his senior England debut, surpassing Marcus Rashford’s previous record. His performance drew praise from teammates, including Rice, who sees a bright future ahead for the Arsenal starlet.

Rice Impressed by Lewis-Skelly’s Fearless Attitude

Speaking after England’s match, Rice expressed his admiration for Lewis-Skelly’s confidence and maturity on the pitch.

“Lewis-Skelly is just fearless. He’s only 18. I try to look after him as best I can. I knew he was going to play like that,” Rice told reporters.

The Arsenal captain emphasized how the teenager’s bold approach and self-belief were evident not just in the game but also in training.

 

“The confidence he has in himself, the way he’s trained all week and what I’ve seen at the club,” Rice added.

A Star in the Making for Arsenal and England

Lewis-Skelly has been tipped for stardom at Arsenal, and his England debut only reinforced the high expectations surrounding him. The midfielder has been steadily progressing through the ranks at the Emirates and is now beginning to make his mark on the international stage.

Rice believes this is just the beginning of a promising journey for the young midfielder.

“This is only the start for him,” Rice declared, signaling that Arsenal and England fans can expect even more from the talented youngster in the future.

Arsenal’s Youth Revolution Continues

Myles Lewis-Skelly’s rise is yet another testament to Arsenal’s successful youth development. Alongside Ethan Nwaneri, the Gunners are building a new generation of homegrown talent, ready to shine at the highest level.

With Rice acting as a mentor, Lewis-Skelly is in the perfect environment to develop into a top-class midfielder. If his England debut is anything to go by, Arsenal have unearthed another gem who could be a key player for club and country in the coming years.
