Miguel Almiron is tipped to become Newcastle United’s “surprise package” by many supporters this season. Despite spending nearly four years on Tyneside, the Paraguayan has struggled for consistency in a black-and-white shirt.
Newcastle fans have only witnessed glimpses of the 28-year-old’s quality - who broke Michael Owen’s long-standing transfer record in January 2019. However, Eddie Howe has proven so far he can reinvigorate players whose careers looked doomed at St James’ Park.
Joelinton, Ryan Fraser and Emil Krafth are three examples of those who enjoyed a startling upturn in form under the former Bournemouth boss. Many backed Almiron to follow suit when asked which player will take the Toon by surprise in 2022-23 on social media.
