His previous contract was set to expire at the end of the next season, and there were rumors that Real Madrid were interested in signing him as a free agent. However, Lewis-Skelly has chosen to stay with Arsenal.

The new deal will see a significant increase in Lewis-Skelly's pay, making him one of the best-paid young players in the world. This is a result of his impressive performance in the 2024-25 season, where he made 39 appearances across all competitions.

During this season, Lewis-Skelly played a key role in Arsenal's second-place finish in the Premier League under manager Mikel Arteta.
