Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly, reveals a hilarious phone call blunder in which he made the mistake of thinking Uber Eats was England manager Thomas Tuchel.
Arsenal’s rising star, Myles Lewis-Skelly, recently shared a hilarious story that has left fans and teammates laughing. The 18-year-old, who has been making waves with his impressive performances for Arsenal, revealed a hilarious mix-up during a nerve-wracking wait for his first England call-up.
In a candid moment on the show England Generations, Lewis-Skelly recounted how he mistook an Uber Eats delivery call for a life-changing conversation with England’s manager, Thomas Tuchel. The young footballer, eager to hear news of his potential inclusion in the national squad, received a call from an unknown number. Assuming it was Tuchel, he quickly ended a conversation with a friend and answered the call in his “best professional voice.” However, instead of the England boss, it was an Uber Eats driver informing him that his food delivery had arrived!
The amusing incident has since become a lighthearted tale among his teammates, with Arsenal’s Declan Rice and Newcastle’s Dan Burn poking fun at the situation. Despite the mix-up, Lewis-Skelly’s talent and dedication did not go unnoticed, as he was eventually called up to represent England in their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
This story not only highlights the young player’s humility and sense of humor but also serves as a reminder of the human side of professional athletes. As Lewis-Skelly continues to shine on the field, fans will undoubtedly remember this as a delightful chapter in his rise to football stardom.
