England defender Myles Lewis-Skelly has agreed a new contract at Arsenal.
The left-back, whose current deal expires in 2026, has been in talks with the Gunners over recent months.
The 18-year-old has now agreed the outline of an extended agreement, which will see him commit his future to the Gunners once signed.
It is reward for a breakthrough campaign last season, which saw Lewis-Skelly make 39 appearances in all competitions.
He made his debut against Manchester City in September and was mainly used at left-back, despite emerging through Arsenal’s academy as a midfielder.
Lewis-Skelly’s performances earned him a call-up to the full England squad in March, having previously been capped from Under-16 through to U19 level.
He scored in a 2-0 win against Albania at Wembley, becoming the youngest player in history to score on their full Three Lions debut.
Lewis-Skelly’s performances last term saw him nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award earlier this week, alongside Morgan Rogers, Liam Delap, Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Ethan Nwaneri.
