'Almiron has the tools to deal with the Premier League' - Newcastle new boy backed by Friedel

Newcastle's new signing Miguel Almiron has all the tools needed to become a top Premier League player, according to Brad Friedel.

Friedel is currently the head coach of the New England Revolution and was impressed by what he saw of Almiron during his time in MLS with Atlanta United.

Almiron netted 12 times in MLS last season, winning the MLS Cup in the process, whilst also making the MLS All-Star team for the second year running, before moving to Newcastle in a club-record £20 million ($26m) deal in the January transfer window.
