EAGLE-EYED fans are convinced Chelsea have signed Newcastle wonderkid Lewis Miley.
The midfielder had broken through to the Magpies first-team just this season, having made four appearances in the Premier League.
Miley, 17, put in stunning performances in the wins over Chelsea and Manchester United.
Against the Blues, he even bagged an assist as he set up Alexander Isak’s opening goal with a slick through ball.
The midfielder has also featured twice in the Champions League as he bossed PSG’s midfield in the 1-1 draw back in November.
However, fans believe that he has now moved to Stamford Bridge after he was named on the club’s team sheet to face Everton.

The match-day programme included Miley’s name at the bottom of the list of Chelsea players.
Jude Soonsup-Bell was also included in the squad, despite joining Tottenham back in January.
Fans who spotted the name took to social media to comment.
One fan said: “Either a programme error or Chelsea have signed Lewis Miley from Newcastle (No 67).”

A second wrote: “Todd Boehly doesn’t stop!”
A third commented: “Lewis Miley 🤯.”
However, it is highly unlikely that Chelsea have actually signed the England youth star.
Newcastle played against Everton at Goodison Park in mid-week and Miley was in the squad.
It is presumed that there has been an error by the Toffees and his name was left on the programme instead of being replaced.
Everton thrashed Newcastle on the night 3-0 but the result was tainted as a 13-man row broke out at full-time.
