Nigel Winterburn has asked the Arsenal star, Myles Lewis -Skelly, to be more aggressive, and urge Thomas Tuchel to consider it for a position in England.
The legend of the Gunners, who won three league titles with Arsenal in the 1980s and 90s, observed the young man to develop over the years at the Hale End Academy of the club.
He is not surprised to see that the talent born in Islington becomes a trusted member of the Mikel Arteta team, but believes that he has a lot to learn about the left side position he tended in his own career.
Mail Sport met Winterburn before Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Wolves on Saturday, during which Lewis-Skelly was sent controversial by a cynical foul on Matt Doherty.
The consequence of this point of inflammation has been explosive, and unfortunately threatening the referee Michael Oliver and his family, with the arsenal winning an appeal against a call that left the manager Mikel Arteta “absolutely smoking”.
“I have to say that its development has been sensational,” Winterburn told mail sport via William Hill Vegas.
Myles Lewis-Skelly can develop even more being “more aggressive,” says Nigel Winterburn

'Now he is asking Mikel Arteta's question: do you dare to leave me out of the team? Because his performances have been so good.
'I would like to see that it is more aggressive in that recoil defense role, particularly closing the opposition team, pushing them to areas where he wants them to go or the team wants them to go or what they have been working on training.
'In the ball, protect the ball very well, you can see that role in the center of the field, it is a good engine with the ball, that has never been a doubt in my mind.
'I have seen Myles go through the youth system while I was doing co -commattion for Arsenal. Initially he was a midfield player, but under Mikel Arteta he has become that left side role.
'I think it has even become even more physically strong. The Premier League is no longer physical, but the physical side to protect the ball is easily capable of doing so.
'I can see him progressing and strengthening himself more and stronger in terms of that position because, let's be fair, he has not played much in that position.
“It should be much stronger in that position, in terms of understanding the paper, almost dictating to their teammates where you want to be, the areas in which you want to push the opposition, but you can see that does not play with any fear, As young players should not.
Winterburn knows what he's talking about. He was no stranger to a crispy tacle and was a pillar in the Arsenal for 13 years, winning 11 trophies and learning under long -term iconic managers in George Graham and Usene Wenger. It was also, by the way, the first Arsenal player to be sent in the Premier League, two yellow cards that stand out against Liverpool in January 1993.

It would not be a surprise if Thomas Tuchel looked at Lewis-Skelly for England, says Winterburn
One of his most famous games was Arsenal's 2-0 victory in Anfield in May 1989 to ensure the title of the First Division on the last day of the season.
Arsenal had a two -goal victory to steal the crown of Liverpool's noses and produced a 91 -minute winner. The current harvest will expect a similar fortune when they travel to Mersyside on May 10 in the final stretch of this campaign.
The injuries are doing everything possible to contain gunners. Lewis-Skell's straight red card and the suspension of three games threatened to add an additional problem, but Arsenal has won its appeal.
Jamie Redknapp said that the young man's lack of Doherty was an “amber”, while Varren England confirmed the call in the Oliver field as a “serious dirty game.”
There was a wide protest because the challenge was on the edge of the wolves and the arsenal has appealed. As it is, he is discarded from the Premier League clahses of Arsenal with Manchester City and Leicester City, as well as by the second leg of his semifinal of the Carabao Cup against Newcastle.
It is a learning curve for Lewis-Skelly, but Winterburn feels that this young man can go to the top and should have an England call in the sight.
“I would not be surprised if I were selected to go to one of England's squads, even if I didn't play, just to take a look,” he said.
“It's modern, it's suitable for that incredibly paper, because you can protect the ball, you can pass, you can move with the ball if you want me to do it, you can go out and inside.

'Mainly in Arsenal it is playing that inverted role, but if you need to go abroad and occasionally it also overlaps, there is no doubt that you can also do it. The way it controls the ball is incredible.
“He has not disappointed anyone and I suggest that he could have surprised some people, although I will say that he has not surprised me because I knew what I was able to do.
“He has probably pushed the bar a little higher than even what he expected, but he knew he was a talented child.”
