No matter what Miguel Almiron does between now and the day he departs Newcastle United, he will always be remembered. His momentous arrival in 2019 saw Mike Ashley break the Magpies' transfer record for first time since the signing of Michael Owen in 2005 - when Instagram had not been invented, Lionel Messi had only scored one Barcelona goal and Atlanta United weren't even formed.
Fans on Tyneside had lofty expectations when Almiron finally made his way over from the other side of the pond. The 28-year-old had featured in the MLS team of the year the two seasons prior to his transfer and had scored 13 goals as Atlanta won their first ever MLS Cup.
But fast forward three years and the South American is at a crossroads in his Newcastle career. In the club's recent unbeaten run that stretched from December 27 to March 10, Almiron featured a meagre 36 minutes, failing to make it off the bench at all in four matches during that period.
