West Ham United are being linked with Miguel Almiron.
According to TyC Sports in Argentina, Atlanta United midfielder Miguel Almiron may be signing for West Ham United in January, with Gonzalo Martinez wanted as a replacement.
The Hammers have been dealt a huge blow, as winger Andriy Yarmolenko has been ruled out for around six months through injury, and Manuel Pellegrini may be forced into the transfer market in January.
Whether it’s a winger or another playmaker to provide some thrust and creativity through the middle of the park, West Ham may need another flair player – and they are being linked with one tonight.
TyC Sports in Argentina report that River Plate star Gonzalo Martinez may be bound for Atlanta United in January, and it’s all because Atlanta’s Miguel Almiron may be on his way to West Ham.
It’s stated that, if Almiron completes his move to West Ham in January, then Atlanta intend to spend the money on Martinez, bringing him in as a direct replacement.
Almiron, 24, started out with Cerro Porteno in his native Paraguay before heading to Argentina with Lanus, and his form with both clubs saw him earn a move to Atlanta United, with Argentinian boss Gerardo Martino suitably impressed.
Almiron is a skilful, pacey playmaker who has taken Major League Soccer by storm, hitting 12 goals and 13 assists in 2018, and Atlanta have already resigned themselves to losing Almiron to a Premier League club in January.
Many expected Arsenal to sign him, but West Ham could now swoop in and sign him, reuniting him with Paraguayan international teammate Manuel Lanzini in what would be an exciting swoop.
