"He will be sold" - Insider drops major exit claim on £20m Newcastle star there's "no room for"

Miguel Almiron will be sold by Newcastle United this summer, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

The 28-year-old has not featured too often of late under Eddie Howe and now appears to be heading towards the St James’ Park exit door.

Not to plan it would be fair to say. In the current campaign, Almiron has made 21 Premier League appearances but has failed to score or provide an assist in any.

While he did feature in Newcastle’s recent 1-0 loss against Chelsea, he played just five minutes across their two fixtures prior, so it is clear to see that the Paraguayan attacking midfielder is not the first name on Howe’s team sheet.

In general, Almiron has struggled in the final third since making his £20m move to Newcastle back in 2019, with the former Atlanta United player scoring just four times in 34 league outings last season.

Ultimately, a fresh start could do him some good and may be something he needs, as competition for a place could be about to become even more fierce next term, with Newcastle having the funds to splash out on new attackers in the summer.
