Miguel Almiron itching to prove his worth after being handed Newcastle United chance

Miguel Almiron admits he is ready to graft for his future as he steps up to replace the injured Ryan Fraser between now and the end of the season. The Paraguayan has been in and out of the Newcastle United fold in recent months as he struggled to oust Fraser and Allan Saint-Maximin in attack.

Almiron started from the outset in the back-to-back defeats against Chelsea and Everton before being picked over Jacob Murphy when Fraser was injured early against Wolves last week. The attacker is facing questions surrounding his future at present with a big summer clear out expected on Tyneside this summer.

But in typical Miggy fashion, the former Atlanta United star is ready to give his all in the hope he can end the season on a high. "It was unfortunate that our team-mate Ryan got injured but then despite those circumstances I was pleased to be able to help the lads out. I believe that you simply have to always be ready to that. Whenever you chance comes, either as a substitute from the bench or in the starting XI from the outset," he told NUFCTV.
