It didn’t take long for Miguel Almiron to make his mark in Major League Soccer. The pacey attacking midfield from Paraguay quickly took the league by storm as the centerpiece in Atlanta United’s attack. The club produced arguably the most exciting play in all of MLS under Tata Martino, finishing behind only Toronto FC in goals scored. Almiron played a significant role in Tata’s system, and his efforts did not go unnoticed.
The 23-year-old finished the year with nine goals and 14 assists in 30 total appearances. His flashy play and vision have caught the attention of some impressive clubs, including Arsenal, Inter Milan, and most recently Newcastle United.
