Lewis Miley has become the worst kept secret at Newcastle United.

The 17-year-old was exceptional during pre-season, rubbing shoulders with some huge names and holding his own.

It hinted at an incredibly bright future in a Newcastle United shirt, but that future came around sooner than anticipated.

The midfielder has been thrust into the action due to the Magpies’ ongoing injury crisis, with Eddie Howe having to lean heavily on the teenager.

But Lewis Miley is not your average teenager. In fact, there is nothing average about him. He has been exceptional ever since coming into the Newcastle team, starting and excelling against some massive opponents.

Starting in the Champions League at 17? No problem for Miley.

Now he is a senior goalscorer too, netting his first ever goal for the club during Saturday’s 3-0 win over Fulham. He broke the deadlock in front of the Gallowgate, and it will be a moment that he will never forget.

Miley is playing so well that it is difficult to envision him not being in Howe’s team, and that is a testament to how quickly he has adapted to first-team football – much to the surprise of some.

Lewis Miley is already good enough to stand out in the Premier League

According to the Daily Mail, some people have been surprised by how ‘ready-made’ Miley is for Premier League football.

He already looks the part, especially from a physical perspective. His genes have helped him out in that instance, with his most recent growth spurt giving him the stature he needs to stand tall in the top flight of English football.

He has never been bullied since coming into the side. Teams have tried, but they have failed. Miley can handle himself, while he also has the right temperament too.

Mentally, he looks unfazed by what has been going on. He doesn’t get too high, nor does he get too low. He gets on with it, and that kind of mentality has helped him enjoy such a strong start to his Newcastle career.

For his age, he is ridiculously good. And he will get better. That is so exciting, given the fact that he already looks the part, which has certainly surprised a lot of people.
