Arsenal’s Hale End academy has long been a breeding ground for exceptional talent, and the recent Arsenal.com video, From Hale End to the First Team: Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri: The Story So Far, beautifully captures the meteoric rise of two of its brightest gems—Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

This heartfelt documentary, released on April 26, 2025, offers fans an intimate look at the duo’s journey from childhood friends to first-team regulars, highlighting their unbreakable bond and extraordinary potential.

Nwaneri, now 18, and Lewis-Skelly, also 18, have been inseparable since joining Arsenal’s academy at age eight. The video showcases their parallel paths, from scoring in their under-18 debut against Reading in 2021 to becoming integral parts of Mikel Arteta’s squad.

Myles Lewis-Skelly, meanwhile, has redefined versatility, transitioning from a commanding central midfielder to Arsenal’s first-choice left-back. His 29 appearances, including a goal against City and a senior England debut under Thomas Tuchel, underline his physicality and technical prowess.
