Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna has given Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly to get English calls in Thomas Tuchel’s first squad.
Former Chelsea boss Tuchel took over as the British manager replacing Gareth Southgate, and he would choose his first British squad for international rest at the end of March.
Myles Lewis-Skelly was a prominent figure during Arsenal’s 5-1 victory over Manchester City during the weekend, and Sagna believed that she was good enough to get a British call even though she was only 18 years old.
Sagna, who played for Arsenal between 2007 and 2014, told Goonernews through Greatoffshoresportsports.com: “I get a lot of excitement to watch it, especially because I don’t know him well.
“When someone plays for the first time you wonder if he will play in a way that suits the team, but he is proven that he matches this Arsenal team. I thought he would be part of the Thomas Tuchel national team when he chose his first troops. I think he will have a very long and successful career. “
Sagna responded to the ratio of Ashley Cole from Gary Neville
After Arsenal’s victory against Manchester City on Sunday, Sky Sports and Scholar commentators Gary Neville claimed that Lewis-Skelly was the best left back he saw since former Arsenal and Chelsea defender Ashley colle-but Sagna believed that it was not fair to make such a comparison .
He said: “No, I think it’s still too early to compare Myles Lewis-Skelly with any player, including Ashley Cole. Myles has many talents; I think he has a lot of confidence.
“Doing what he did at the age of 18 was not extraordinary, but I thought we needed to let him grow and continue to play, because he only played the first team soccer for a few months.
“Let’s give him time to develop into his own players. Let’s let him find his own way and be the player he wants rather than comparing it with players from the past. “
With whom Lewis-Skelly will compete with English calls?
In the last English squad, while Lee Carsley chose only two players who could be considered as left back, where Lewis-Skelly played.
Carsley chose the Newcastle Lewis Hall and Tino Livamramento pair, both of which were likely to be considered by Tuchel as a place in his English team.
Ben Chilwell’s full-back Chelsea joined Crystal Palace with a loan during the January window, so he could get more regular game time, which led to English calls. His teammate at Selhurst Park Tyrick Mitchell will also order Tuchel’s attention after the impressive season so far for Eagles.
People like Kieran Trippier and Joe Gomez have struggled to get regular games in Newcastle and Liverpool. In addition, Luke Shaw is currently injured so that it will not be chosen.
Seeing Lewis-Skelly does not have a large number of competition for the place of British troops, Sagna’s claim can be about true given the form of the 18-year-old player.
