It has been an eventful summer on Tyneside, but 25 May proved a particularly significant date.
On the same day Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto de Zerbi reached out to Sandro Tonali, Newcastle United announced Lewis Miley had signed a new long-term contract.
Newcastle have recruited three midfielders this summer to offset the departures of Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes to Spurs and ***** nal, but it is rather telling that manager Matthias Jaissle is already a "big fan" of one he inherited.
Jaissle certainly did not think twice about starting Miley against Liverpool on the opening weekend, despite him only playing 45 minutes in pre-season following a spell out with a broken leg.
Newcastle have since signed Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City in a deal worth up to £52m, but the new arrival is expected to complement Miley rather than hinder his progress and the academy graduate looks set to keep his place as he faces Tonali for the first time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday (17:30 BST).
