Thomas Tuchel will have watched Myles Lewis-Skelly's performance against Fulham with a broad smile. The young Arsenal star was a surprise starter, especially with Riccardo Calafiori also in the lineup. But when Martin Zubimendi was unavailable, the tactical switch became clear: Lewis-Skelly would anchor the midfield.

It turned out to be a masterstroke. Lewis-Skelly delivered a composed, energetic display in an unfamiliar role, helping Arsenal secure a convincing victory. His first-half contributions set the tone, showing awareness and versatility that belied his years.

This performance couldn't have come at a better time. Despite his obvious talent, Lewis-Skelly has struggled for consistent minutes at Arsenal, which has limited his chances with the England national team. According to The Daily Mail, Tuchel would be delighted to see him back in action and performing consistently ahead of the summer World Cup.

The England midfield is stacked with established stars, but Lewis-Skelly's adaptability could be his ticket. Regular club minutes and performances like this one will be crucial if he hopes to force his way into the squad. For now, he's shown he can handle the heat—even in a role that wasn't his own.
