Newcastle United legend Shay Given believes Jack Grealish's now-infamous jibe against Miguel Almiron should be taken with a 'pinch of salt'. The Paraguay international has surprisingly emerged as the standout star for the Magpies this season, netting eight goals so far.
Almiron collected the Premier League's Player of the Month and Goal of the Month awards for October, scoring six times including the sensational volley in the victory at Fulham. The former MLS star had previously struggled for end product during his time on Tyneside, but is now one of the first names on the teamsheet under Eddie Howe.
This drastic improvement has come just months after Grealish insulted Almiron in a video shared widely on social media. The Manchester City star mocked team-mate Riyad Mahrez for 'playing like Almiron' as Pep Guardiola's side celebrated a fourth Premier League title in five seasons.
