superpg1688 Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed he has spoken to Miles Lewis-Skelly about the challenges that have seen him sent off in recent months.

The 18-year-old has become a regular in the first-team this season but has struggled for discipline in some of his tackles, which have seen him sent off against Wolves and West Ham United, and was almost booked for a second yellow card in the latest game against PSV for a hard challenge, only to escape with a first-half substitute. superpg1688

While he understands the player’s personality and strengths, Arteta insists he has spoken to Lewis-Skelly to help him adjust and find the right fit for the player and the team’s future.

It was today that I spoke to him. When the dust settles, we will be able to have an open conversation,” Arteta revealed.

“What can we learn from that situation? How did it put our team at risk? What should we try to avoid without sacrificing his identity?”

“That’s what we have to do, understand the lines because he’s a great player, he’s got a great attitude …

“Of course, we have to maintain that and understand the risks and the benefits, the part where you are on the pitch and when you have to take risks and do something that could be a big blow to you, and sometimes we have to not do that because it might not be good for us.” ( superpg1688 )
