Callum Wilson believes Miguel Almiron's sensational form may in part be 'driven' by a determination to 'put respect' on his name after Jack Grealish's now infamous jibe. Newcastle United's former record signing was named the club's player of the month for October, netting six times as the Magpies won five out of six Premier League fixtures.
Almiron is the latest Newcastle star to enjoy a revival under Eddie Howe, having scored just once in 32 appearances last term. The 28-year-old's work rate on Tyneside has never been in doubt, but the Paraguay international has often frustrated with his end product.
Grealish's 'played like Almiron' taunt at Riyad Mahrez's expense during City's title celebrations in May went viral on social media. Wilson insists he was 'oblivious' about the jibe until recently, and was asked if the comment had left his team-mate 'fuming'.
