Miguel Almiron has never had it so good in a Newcastle United shirt. Six goals in five games this month has seen the Paraguayan revel in the new-found spotlight of being the Magpies' main man.
This run of form and fan adoration has been a long time coming for Almiron, who has flattered to deceive at times during his three-year spell on Tyneside. Only a matter of months ago the winger was being touted with a move away as the likes of Fulham and Everton inquired over his availability.
But Eddie Howe's constant backing in public and motivational words in private have seen Almiron revive his flatlining St James' Park career, with the player now contesting a Goal of the Month competition all by himself.
