Arsenal midfielder Lewis-Skelly: I can learn from Rice

Arsenal midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly says he's drawing inspiration from Declan Rice.

The youngster is eager to learn from the England midfielder.

He told arsenal.com: "My best position is either a No6 or No8. I'm not too sure yet but I'm just continuing to try my best to master both. Whatever it takes, I'm ready to play in the 6 or 8 role. I wouldn't say I model my game on anyone because I'm my own player, but I look up to players and try to implement bits into my game.

"There's so much learning I can take from Declan Rice for example. Every time I look at him I'm watching him and looking to see how he's at the top of his game. What he's good at, I can use it in my game and try to reach the top.

"For me personally it's not that hard to keep my feet on the ground because I know the level that I want to reach. I know it's an every day process of getting better. To reach the top of my game and reach the best version of myself, every day I want to keep my head down and keep working and I know that it's only the start. If I keep doing that, I think the sky is the limit."
