Listen to the debate on It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Get close to Lewis Miley and he doesn\u2019t look old enough to be cleaning boots. Watch him from afar and you realise that few will ever be good enough to lace his.<\/p>\n<p>At 17, he does not look like a player of potential. He looks like a player for now, and how Newcastle needed him on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Miley was supposed to be resting after seven straight starts amid the squad\u2019s injury crisis. But as restlessness spread and 10-man Fulham dug in for a point, substitute Miley dug his team out of a hole. His first senior goal made him the youngest-ever Premier League scorer for his boyhood club \u2014 given he\u2019s still just a boy, that feels odd.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, he has been a ballboy at St James\u2019 Park more times than he has played, although that will soon change.<\/p>\n<p>Miley\u2019s emergence has been the antidote to the ills of the injury list. This, however, is no lucky break. The midfielder was always destined to be a star, his name long since spoken about in North-East football circles and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/17\/21\/79063637-0-image-a-141_1702848244513.jpg\" height=\"471\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Hugely talented 17-year-old Lewis Miley is continuing to make a major impact for Newcastle<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/17\/21\/79063717-0-image-a-155_1702848368373.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The emergence of Miley is a major boost for Eddie Howe&#8217;s side during an injury crisis<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>What has surprised many is how ready-made he is for Premier League football. Not just that, Champions League, too. He starred in Paris last month on a pitch alongside Kylian Mbappe and got his first European assist against AC Milan in midweek.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But scoring goals is what causes talk to intensify around any young player. Eddie Howe says Miley has goals in him but it\u2019s not the most obvious of his many assets. Sometimes, though, a player is so good that, by extension, they simply do score goals. Look at Jude Bellingham. In time, you can see Miley evolving into an attacking midfielder of similar impact.<\/p>\n<p>It is not a fanciful comparison, either. Ability aside, it is mentality that separates the likes of Miley and Bellingham from their peers. A maturity that allows a boy to step into a man\u2019s game and look like the oldest player on the park. Miley has that self-confidence and composure, evidenced by his cool finish at the Gallowgate End just as his team were feeling the heat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/17\/21\/79063745-0-image-a-156_1702848457431.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Miley plays without fear, which has led to comparisons with Real Madrid&#8217;s Jude Bellingham<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>One Mail Sport viewer of an older vintage compared him to Duncan Edwards over the weekend. He made his England debut at 18. Will Miley beat that? He will need at least the rest of this season maintaining this level of form and exposure to England Under 21s before that becomes a reality.<\/p>\n<p>But it will happen. The boy with the baby face is no longer making baby steps. These are giant strides he is taking and it won\u2019t be long before he is wearing boots that others simply cannot fill.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12874725\/Lewis-Miley-Jude-Bellingham-Newcastle-youngster.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lewis Miley showed shades of Jude Bellingham during Newcastle&#8217;s 3-0 win over Fulham&#8230;
