Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand has hailed Arsenal defender, Myles Lewis-Skelly following his display in the Gunners’ UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg 2-1 victory against Real Madrid.
Lewis-Skelly played full 90 minutes as Arsenal defeated Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
Goals from Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli gave Mikel Arteta’s side the win against the Los Blancos in Spain.
Discussing Lewis-Skelly’s display against the hosts, Ferdinand said the youngster is special and so calm.
Ferdinand said on TNT Sports, Ferdinand said: “I’m sorry, is Lewis-Skelly really 18?
“His date of birth is right, isn’t it? He looks so calm and so cool in and out of possession.
“Before the game he was on a call, just talking and chilling. He is special.”
Lewis-Skelly will hope to continue his impressive display for Arsenal when they face Ipswich Town in the Premier League this weekend.
