Arsenal brews his own Bellingham at Hale End

Arsenal has a long and incredibly proud track record of producing some of the best players from his academy.

Arsene Wenger once said, “We don’t sign superstars, we make them,” and while the club is spending more money today, it’s still somewhat faithful, Bukayo Saka is now one of Europe’s best players, and of course there’s no Premier League.

Plus, this season saw Ethan Nwanelli and Miles Lewis Skelly explode into the scene, with the latter leading the way when they faced Jude Bellingham on Tuesday night.

There are no indications that the Hale End Talent Factory will be slowing down anytime soon. One of the club’s most exciting youths can even become his own Bellingham.

The Future of Lewis Skelly and Nuwaneri

Before reaching the youth in question, it is worth pondering the future of today’s young stars, Lewis Skelly and Nuwaneri.

The latter did not appear on Tuesday night as it had its first start since December. And by the time he took off, the host had already raised two goals and was away from the third score.

But if he doesn’t specialize in the second leg or semi-finals, once Arsenal gets there – we’ll be surprised as the distance of 10 goals involvement from this year’s 31 games is spectacular.

The Enfield-born Dynamo has mostly played the right of this season, but I imagine him to remain a backup for that role’s first choice in the future, but he may also spend more time in the middle of the park in the future.

The reason for this is that despite his spending so much time on the wings this season, his most played overall position attacks midfield and if Martin Odegard continues to be overwhelmed with his role as chief creator, it would not be a shock to see the teenager unleashed in his place.

Meanwhile, Lewis Skelly’s future is a bit difficult to predict. Despite spending most of his youth career as a central midfielder and also gaining attention as a midfielder on Arsenal’s website, he’s not a staggering left-back.

The Islington-born ace also won his first two senior England caps in that position, one of the team sheet names at Declan Rice, and Martins Vimendi’s move is increasingly visible, making him simply the left-back of Arteta’s first choice.

But even so, the 18-year-old continues to play a key role in the build-up and offensive phases of play. In fact, he often overloads midfielders and uses his incredible ball-carrying ability to create mixed chaos with opportunities for teammates to exploit.

Overall, the next season may be another season where Nwaneri will slowly see his game time before he finally becomes a regular starter in the middle, but Lewis Skelly will look to be a regular starter as long as he is fit or at the club.

Interestingly, there could be another Hale Ender, Arsenal’s Bellingham, who will infiltrate the team next season.

Arsenal’s future Bellingham

Arsenal is currently blessed with a wealth of promising young people from Hale End, from Dan Casey to Andre Harriman Annas.

But when it comes to the young people who are the most exciting of them and who could become the club’s own Bellingham, there’s only one player to talk about: Max Dowman.

Yes, despite being only 15 years old, we think even non-acenal fans have heard of the young midfielder.

Rice, assigned to coach him, for example, described him as “the best 15 year old in the country,” but academy expert Will Balsam grew even bigger and claimed he had “one of the best football brains ever passed through the Hale End.”

This may all sound above, but it only reflects how special the teenagers are, and next year will almost certainly be their first team debut, and this is one of the things that he is very similar to Bellingham.

The Real Madrid superstar made his debut in Birmingham City at just 16 years old. Hale Ender could potentially be even younger on his debut if he plays early next season.

Plus, both are central midfielders in trade, but can play higher if necessary. The Gunner Ace has already scored nine goals and has provided three assists in 18 appearances for the junior side this year.

Ultimately, describing young people as the next Bellingham could be seen as too much pressure or exaggeration, but those things do not seem true to Douman.
