Newcastle's Almiron rejoins Atlanta United for £8m

Newcastle United winger Miguel Almiron has rejoined Atlanta United on a permanent deal for £8m.

The 30-year-old Paraguay international signed for the Magpies from the Major League Soccer side in 2019 for a then club record fee of £20m.

Almiron has made 223 appearances for Newcastle, scoring 30 goals, but has struggled recently to gain a place in manager Eddie Howe's starting line-up.

Last weekend he came on as a substitute in Newcastle's 3-1 win against Southampton and waved farewell to the travelling supporters.

Almiron played a significant role in Newcastle reaching the Carabao Cup final and finishing fourth in the Premier League in 2022-23.
