Arsenal fans have taken to social media to react to the news that left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly has earnt a call-up to the England squad.
Thomas Tuchel named his first England squad on Friday morning, making some interesting decisions such as the inclusion of Jordan Henderson and Marcus Rashford, and leaving out Ollie Watkins.
One of the headlines is that 18-year-old Lewis-Skelly earned his first call-up after breaking out for Mikel Arteta this season at Arsenal.
Lewis-Skelly has made 25 appearances for the Gunners this season, scoring his first goal for the club during the 5-0 win against Manchester City.

Which other Arsenal players were called up?
Lewis-Skelly wasn’t the only Arsenal player to get a call-up from Tuchel this week, as Declan Rice also earnt himself a spot in the England squad.
Rice has made 62 appearances for the National Team so far in his career both during his time with West Ham and Arsenal.
Raheem Sterling, Ethan Nwaneri and Bukayo Saka missed out on the squad, with the latter not picked due to his current hamstring injury.
Defender Ben White previously said that he didn’t want to be selected for the England team, and it seems that Tuchel has granted his wishes and not picked him.
