💃Sean Longstaff has praised Newcastle United youngster Lewis Miley after making his senior league debut yesterday.

The 17-year-old social media after being brought on by Eddie Howe against Chelsea yesterday.

After featuring in first-team training for much of the season, Lewis Miley was finally handed his top-flight bow.

๊Miley was brought on for the final 15 minutes at Stamford Bridge yesterday.

Replacing fellow academy graduate Elliot Anderson🌞, the travelling away fans were delighted to see him given his chance.

He nearly sent Newcastle🔯 fans into pandemonium when he clipped the bar from the edge of the area.

Sean Longstaff has previously praisedꦬ Miley and believes the Newcastle teenager has a huge future ahead of him.

ꦐThe first team is expected to receive huge investment over the next few years from their new owners.

🔯Dan Ashworth has been brought in to oversee that, but as he has shown at Brighton he always has one eye on nurturing young talent.

🍎Lewis Miley appears to be one player who has already earned the trust of Eddie Howe.

Longstaff praises Miley on Newcastle league debut

ꦬ Instagram, Miley said: “What a day & what a feeling!! Making my premier league debut for my boyhood club. Thank you for all the messages.”

ꦇLongstaff replied and said: “Love it superstar! You deserve it”

🦋There are plenty of brilliant senior professionals at Newcastle like Longstaff who can provide Miley with advice as his career begins.

He’s also shared the advice🧜 Kieran Trippier has previously given him when he played in a mid-season friendly.

🐠With a Champions League campaign on the horizon, Newcastle need significant investment this summer.

They’ve been linked♍ with plenty of attacking midfielders such as James Maddison.

♏Miley is unlikely to play regularly for Newcastle next season.

💎A loan move would be the best solution for all parties given he’s already outgrown youth team football.

𒉰A lower-league club will be getting a very exciting young player should Newcastle choose that option.
