Arsenal middfielder, Declan Rice has hailed teammate, Myles Lewis-Skelly following his impressive display against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Rice described Lewis-Skelly’s performance as ‘unbelievable’, adding that the 18-year-old has no fear.
Lewis-Skelly featured as Arsenal defeated Tottenham 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
He was one of the standout performers for the Gunners against Spurs.
Son Heung-min opened the scoring for Tottenham but Arsenal equalized via Dominic Solanke’s own-goal from a corner.
Leandro Trossard then scored shortly before half time to put Mikel Arteta’s side in front.
“The young boy Myles again is just unbelievable, for 18 what he showed tonight is just ridiculous,” Rice told TNT Sports.
“It’s scary, the 18-year-olds now have got no fear, they’ve got no fear whatsoever.
“I think there were four or five times in the second half, he’s got that Moussa Dembele trait, he uses his body to get away from stuff. Sometimes, yeah, it’s risky but to show that at 18 and the personality and character, honestly, it’s unbelievable.”
