After meeting England teammate Dan Burn, Myles Lewis-Skelly was amazed by their extreme height difference rather than his attitude.
The 18-year-old Arsenal star, who stands 5’10,” is accustomed to the physical demands of playing football in the top division. But it was completely different to stand next to Burn, who is 6’7″. Most players are dwarfed by the Newcastle player, and Lewis-Skelly was no different when they met at St George’s Park.
Lewis-Skelly, unable to control his laughter, cried out: “No, this is too much! Oh my god. It’s a joke.
With a cheerful response, Burn, used to such responses, said: “Everyone gets it, mate.”

After scoring the first goal in Newcastle’s 2-1 victory against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, Burn is coming off an incredible weekend.
Although their first encounter was characterized by lighthearted banter, Lewis-Skelly and Burn might be vying for a spot in England’s starting lineup. The Arsenal player is a serious possibility for Friday’s game against Albania because he has excelled this season as a left-back, a position where England lack depth. However, Burn has mostly played center back this season, however manager Thomas Tuchel may switch him to left back if necessary.
