Theo Walcott suggests £75m player shouldn’t be in Arsenal’s best XI at the moment
Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readMikel Arteta has made his midfield selection for today’s Leeds game. Declan Rice starts, as he almost always does. But alongside him, it is Myles Lewis-Skelly who gets the nod ahead of Bruno Guimaraes — the £75million summer signing who has started just one Premier League game so far this season.
That Brighton performance , where he lost the ball nine times and was the first player substituted, clearly weighed on Arteta’s thinking. Martin Zubimendi , meanwhile, continues to wait patiently for his opportunity in the league.
One of Arteta’s former Arsenal teammates Theo Walcott has weighed in on the midfield dilemma. Speaking on his TikTok live before kick-off, he had a fairly hot take.
