Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have hailed Arsenal's teenage sensation Myles Lewis-Skelly and named the 18-year-old as their pick for Young Player of the Season.

Lewis-Skelly has enjoyed a breakout campaign for the Gunners, making 38 appearances across all competitions.

The defender has also earned two England caps under new manager Thomas Tuchel, but he did not make the Premier League's shortlist for their Young Player of the Season award despite both Carragher and Neville believing he deserves to win it.

Sharing their picks for a number of end-of-season awards on Sky Sports ' Monday Night Football, Carragher compared Lewis-Skelly to Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney.

"At 18 you're a baby," Carragher said.

"The thought you could win Young Player of the Year at that age.

I remember going to those venues at 23-24 and that was a lot for me.

Neville also branded Lewis-Skelly "incredible", with the teenager making the most of his opportunity at left-back after the likes of Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori were sidelined with injuries early on in the campaign.

"That's been a massive problem position for Arsenal," Neville explained.

That's the biggest compliment you can give to a young player, they just slot in.

"[Bukayo] Saka's done it in the last few years.
