BBC Sport&#8217;s Pat Nevin even described him as &#8220;the next young British superstar&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his age, Miley is already playing at the controls of an experienced professional.<\/p>\n<p>    He averages 48 completed passes per 90 minutes and has a pass accuracy of 88%, which ranks among the best among his generation.<\/p>\n<p>His defensive contributions are equally strong, with figures of 4.00 tackles per 90 and 1.43 blocks per 90 showing the midfielder isn&#8217;t afraid to do the dirty work.<\/p>\n<p>Statistically, he&#8217;s on par with Anderson.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson outperforms him in offensive metrics with 4.72 progressive passes, 1.72 progressive carries, and 2.87 shot-create actions per 90 points, but Miley&#8217;s efficiency and poise are exceptional for a teenager.<\/p>\n<p>His greater passing accuracy and better defensive ability highlight why Eddie Howe sees him as a central figure in Newcastle&#8217;s long-term plans.<\/p>\n<p>There have been signs of growing pains this season, at times struggling to influence games from deep.<\/p>\n<p>    However, senior teammates like Howe and Joelinton were quick to defend him, pointing out that the experience he is gaining will be invaluable to his development.<\/p>\n<p>Summer loans to either Crystal Palace or Ipswich were considered but ultimately rejected.<\/p>\n<p>Miley&#8217;s ability to combine neat passing with defensive resilience makes him the prototype of the modern English midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>Like Anderson, he is comfortable playing between the lines, but provides more control and balance in possession. This could be just what England&#8217;s midfield needs in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>For Howe, the lesson is clear. If you develop your talent properly, the next generation may already be waiting in your backyard.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a time not too long ago when it seemed like a rare sight to see a Newcastle United player wearing an England shirt.
