Miguel Almiron has confessed he refused to buy another pair of football boots due to his recent goalscoring run. The Paraguayan is enjoying his finest season to date as a Newcastle United player.
Nine top-flight goals in 2022-23 is half the total Almiron has managed since arriving on Tyneside four years ago. Eddie Howe has revitalised a player who appeared headed for the St James’ Park exit a year ago.
The 28-year-old has opened up about his superstitious side by revealing he would not change boots. Almiron had been sporting green Puma Ultra Ultimate cleats this season - but admitted they were on their last legs before a recent switch.
