Myles Lewis-Skelly, 19, seeks to establish himself in midfield for Arsenal this season after a strong finish last year.

With the potential signing of Bruno Guimaraes, a more experienced option, Lewis-Skelly's pathway to a starting role might face challenges. However, he has shown exceptional talent and could stand out given that many competitors are returning from the World Cup behind in match fitness.
