A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.75 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lewis-Skelly.
Judged on this season alone, Lewis-Skelly graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.745 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 4).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 81, top 22% of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 19 Lewis-Skelly is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 78 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Arsenal finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 19 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 81.2, Lewis-Skelly carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
