Trippier praises Miley's 'big presence' as Newcastle face Tonali reunion

Newcastle United reporter Published 4 minutes ago 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 Arsenal , but it is rather telling that manager Matthias Jaissle is already a "big fan" of one he inherited.
