Miguel Almiron

Newcastle’s record signing at £20m, who joined the club from MLS side Atlanta United in January.

The Paraguayan is most accustomed to the No.10 role, where his technical ability and raw pace make him a threat dribbling at defences, carrying the ball into dangerous areas.

The 25 year old has impressed his fans since his arrival and adjusted to the physicality of the Premier League quicker than expected. He is yet to score for Newcastle but is growing with every game and will be hoping to capitalise on what could be a Vestergaard-less defence and help his side to victory.
