Alan Smith says there is ‘every chance’ Myles Lewis-Skelly will leave Arsenal this summer after a ‘really difficult season’ at the Emirates Stadium.

Lewis-Skelly, 19, has started just one Premier League game so far this season, playing back-up to Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie.

The teenager enjoyed a breakout season for Arsenal last season, making 39 appearances in all competitions and helping the Gunners challenge for the Premier League and go deep in the Champions League.

Lewis-Skelly particularly impressed in Arsenal’s Champions League quarter-final win over Real Madrid and was compared to Manchester United and England legend Wayne Rooney by Jamie Carragher after the tie.

Ex-Liverpool captain Carragher and former Man United defender Gary Neville later hailed Lewis-Skelly as their Young Player of the Season and backed him to be an England regular over the next decade.

Lewis-Skelly has earned six England caps to date and was expected to be part of Thomas Tuchel’s squad for this summer’s World Cup.

But a lack of game-time at Arsenal has all but ruled Lewis-Skelly out of contention and he could instead be on the move this summer, according to former striker Smith.
