Speaking on his YouTube channel, the journalist revealed that Chelsea have been keeping a close eye on Miley and three other young midfielders.
“So, he is one of the players on this list, but he’s one that we have tracked before.
“And then Lewis Miley from Newcastle – another England Under-21 international, plays in midfield, 6ft 2in tall.
“So, yeah, those are the four names that I have been given.”
The other three reported players on Chelsea’s list are Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly, Josh King and Harrison Armstrong.
The journalist also revealed that Chelsea have previously made contact with representatives of some of their targets.
“At the moment, they are players that Chelsea are scouting this season and running regular reports on, weekly reports, so, yeah, wanted to deliver that news to you, guys, and yeah, some interesting ones to watch there.”
Lewis Miley remains an important part of Newcastle United plans
Lewis Miley has started seven games for Newcastle this season, with another two appearances coming from the bench.
