Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly are special talents – Butler-Oyedeji
Asked about the young pair,Butler-Oyedeji said: “They’re really like top, top players. They’re like 15, 16 or 17 I think. They came on the Dubai trip with the first team and I was talking to them and they’re top quality for their age.
“They’re not even punching, they’re swimming with the big sharks, they’re very good.
“Obviously, they still have things to learn but Ethan [Nwaneri] and Myles [Lewis-Skelly], they’re top players.”
Ethan Nwaneri is already written into the Arsenal history books after becoming the youngest player ever to play in the Premier League.
Heturned down a moveto Chelsea in the summer to sign a scholarship Ԁєɑł at the Emirates.
Another player who committed his future to Arsenal was Myles Lewis-Skelly.
The 16-year-old has played in friєɴԀlies for the first team but is yet to make his professional debut.
Both players have so much time ahead of them that it would be a surprise to see them involved with the first team soon.
However, Arsenal have two special talents in Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly that they’ll need to nurture carefully.
The fact that they’ve been identified by their peers as players to watch is a huge compliment.
