“I’ve Never Faced Someone This Aggressive”: Wan-Bissaka Reveals the ONE Arsenal Star Who Shocked Him Despite West Ham’s Defeat

In the aftermath of West Ham’s narrow 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates, there was a surprising moment of respect from Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who singled out an unexpected Arsenal star for making his day on the pitch incredibly difficult — and it wasn’t Martin Ødegaard or Leandro Trossard.

Speaking in the post-match press conference, Wan-Bissaka admitted:

“Although we managed to beat them 1-0 at our home ground earlier this season, I must confess, I have never faced such a dangerously aggressive player like him in my career before. He really shocked me today.”

While many expected Wan-Bissaka to name an attacking star like Bukayo Saka or Gabriel Martinelli, it was the young Arsenal midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly who earned the West Ham defender’s praise. The 17-year-old academy product, who has recently broken into Arsenal’s first team, delivered an energetic and aggressive display in the midfield, catching the eyes of both fans and opponents alike.

Lewis-Skelly was relentless in his pressing, constantly harassing West Ham’s midfielders, winning duels, and showing a level of maturity far beyond his years. His physicality and tenacity, despite his age, clearly left an impression on Wan-Bissaka.

Even Graham Potter, who was present at the game as a pundit, took the opportunity to praise the youngster after the final whistle.

> “That was a top-tier performance from Lewis-Skelly. For such a young player to dominate parts of the midfield like that against a team like West Ham — that takes serious quality and character. He deserves all the credit today,” Potter said on live broadcast.

Arsenal fans were quick to flood social media with praise for Lewis-Skelly, seeing Wan-Bissaka’s comments as validation of the youngster’s potential.

One fan tweeted, “Myles Lewis-Skelly is the future. To earn that kind of respect from a seasoned pro like Wan-Bissaka? This kid is special!”

Another added, “Imagine being 17 and making professionals twice your age struggle. Our academy is GOLDEN.”

Mikel Arteta also chimed in during his post-match interview, expressing his pride in the young midfielder’s display:

> “Myles showed today why he’s been training with the first team. His energy, his aggressiveness, and his tactical awareness were top class. It’s not easy to play with that confidence at his age.”

What’s Next for Lewis-Skelly?

With performances like this, there will be increasing calls for Arteta to give Lewis-Skelly more minutes in crucial fixtures. The young midfielder’s aggressive style could offer Arsenal a unique edge in games where intensity is needed in the midfield battle.

As Arsenal continues their push for silverware, having breakout stars like Lewis-Skelly stepping up could be the difference-maker — and after today’s performance, the football world is starting to take notice
