Newcastle United top scorer Miguel Almiron has revealed his "lucky" boots are being held together with glue after splitting earlier this season.
The former Atlanta United star has nine goals for the Magpies this season, matching the number he managed in his first three-and-a-half seasons with the club. That is enough to make him Newcastle's top scorer in all competitions, with Eddie Howe's side into the Carabao Cup final and in contention for a top-four finish in the league.
Almiron's fine form was briefly under threat, though. His boots were damaged when the Paraguay international scored in the win at Spurs, but kit man Neil Stoker saved his bacon.
