EXCLUSIVE: Good news as Newcastle star now set to sign new deal in 2024 with Magpies set to reward player with new and improved deal
The injury crisis at Newcastle United cannot be overlooked.
Quite whether or not that is the only reason for some of Newcastle’s (relative) struggles this season is of course up for debate.
Just because there are players missing does not mean the ones actually on the pitch cannot be criticised, after all.
Still, there has been a positive to there being so many absences.
Indeed, Lewis Miley continues to shine. Initially held back despite impressing in pre-season, the teenager got his chance with so little else in the way of options.
Certainly, it’s fair to say that went well. Now, he could be in line for a reward.
According to The Chronicle, those behind the scenes are ready to reward the 17-year-old. They claim the club are likely to offer the midfielder improved terms in 2024, when he turns 18.
Miley is said to have already been handed an improvement to his current deal – the first professional agreement of his career back in May.
Such has been his meteoric rise, however, there are plans to extend that even further as Newcastle attempt to stave off any rival interest from other European clubs.
Hailed as a “little superstar” by teammate Sean Longstaff, the future is seriously exciting for Miley.
Praised for his performances even during difficult games against the likes of Everton and Bournemouth, the teenager also pulled off a brilliant assist against Chelsea.
To be doing all that in the middle of the park at his young age feels special. It may have been a difficult run for the team as whole but little blame can be attributed to Miley.
With the added authenticity of being a local lad, doing everything to ensure there is no reason to leave feels wise.
