When I heard he was joining I was super happy because it\u2019s someone to learn from and pick the brain of. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He\u2019s another winner, he\u2019s someone who plays in a similar position to you, so you can always learn from him. Being a sponge to Bruno is going to be really impactful.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lewis-Skelly is equally adept at playing left-back for Arsenal. While he has been a regular feature in the line-up as a midfielder this season, the 19-year-old insisted that he is ready to help the team in whatever role he is given.<\/p>\n<p>He added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m a midfielder. But at the end of the day it\u2019s all down to the team needs. No player, no individual is bigger than the team goal.
