From the source

Nobody in Mikel Arteta's squad has seen their stock rise more over the last six months than Myles Lewis-Skelly. Back in mid-April, the then teenage full-back was in danger of being left behind.

Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie were firmly ahead of him in the pecking order on the left-hand side of Arsenal's defence, and speculation was starting to circulate, suggesting that the Hale End graduate could find himself on the way out over the summer.

However, as a desperate ploy during a particularly bleak period of Arsenal performances, Arteta moved Lewis-Skelly into midfield. The youngster shone in this new role, and the rest is history.
