Jamie Carragher credits Jack Grealish for Miguel Almiron’s Newcastle transformation

Miguel Almiron Jack Grealish Jamie Carragher Newcastle Eddie Howe EPL Manchester City Newcastle United

Jamie Carragher believes Jack Grealish’s distasteful comments about Miguel Almiron inspired his astonishing turnaround. In May, the midfielder took aim at the Paraguayan amid Manchester City’s title celebrations.

Grealish mocked teammate Riyad Mahrez for his final-day performance against Aston Villa, joking that the winger “played like Almiron” - a comment that was widely condemned by Newcastle supporters.

Since then, the Magpies’ man has looked like a man possessed to play his best football in a Newcastle shirt to date. Another goal against Tottenham Hotspur took his tally for the season to six, meaning 38% of his Premier League goals have been scored this season.
