Jamie Redknapp feels a 'bit sorry' for Miguel Almiron as the World Cup break has come at the wrong time for the Newcastle United star. The Paraguay international has been in scintillating form and was voted the Premier League's Player of the Month for October after netting six goals.
Almiron had consistently impressed with his work-rate since his then club-record arrival from Atlanta United in January 2019. However, the attacker had struggled to deliver in the final third and initially found himself out of the starting eleven following Eddie Howe's appointment last November.
The 28-year-old has made the right forward spot his own this term, and this devastating run of form last month was followed by another goal in the 4-1 victory at Southampton. Redknapp labelled Almiron as the 'individual success story of the season so far', and believes the in-form forward will not want the season to be put on hold.
