3 things Myles Lewis-Skelly will bring to the England squad

Myles Lewis-Skelly has been called up to the England squad by Thomas Tuchel for the first time and he will be looking to make the most of the opportunity.

The Hale End graduate has played 35 times across the Three Lions' youth teams and he will be looking to bring that experience across into the senior side.

Being a new face in the setup, Lewis-Skelly can offer plenty to the fold and there three key things he could bring to the England squad.

1. Ability to drift into midfield

Naturally a midfielder, Lewis-Skelly does brilliantly to drift into midfield when at left back. This is something that could really help out the England squad.

Despite being very defensively minded for much of his tenure, Gareth Southgate implemented the inverted full back role into his teams, albeit mostly on the right side. The likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kieran Trippier held the responsiblity but Lewis-Skelly's ability means the squad can do the same on the left.

Thomas Tuchel has a tendency to use inverted full backs in his teams and has often played with wing backs. If the German is to continue the use of this tactic with the Three Lions, Arsenal's young left back will be a perfect option.

Lewis-Skelly's ability to drift into midfield will be a huge bonus for the England squad. It would help the team control games in the middle of the park, as well as giving them attacking superiority down the left side. It should also work well under the management of Tuchel, who is a fan of using such full backs.
