Newcastle United took a huge step to securing their Premier League status for next season by defeating Wolves 1-0 on Friday, as Eddie Howe ’s side once again moved 10 points clear of the relegation zone with seven games to play.
With it looking highly unlikely that the Magpies will go down, Howe may start to experiment with his squad in preparation for next season and is planning on unleashing a “real weapon” in his side in the form of Miguel Almiron. The Paraguayan is likely to benefit from the unfortunate injury to Ryan Fraser and will be given the opportunity to prove his worth at St. James’ Park ahead of a potential summer exit.
Almiron has come back into the fold of late and was given an unlikely opportunity to impress for the Magpies during Friday’s victory over Wolves, coming on as a 13th minute substitute for the injured Fraser, and Howe was full of praise for the 28-year-old following his impressive performance.
