Lewis-Skelly previously featured for England’s U19s but will now bypass the U20s and U21s to join the senior team at St George’s Park. Tuchel praised the youngster’s maturity and confirmed that injuries and form influenced the decision. “He became a regular for Arsenal very quickly. He’s nothing but impressive,” Tuchel said.
