Pundit impressed with Newcastle United attacker.
Paul Merson has told Sky Sports he is impressed with what he has seen from Miguel Almiron at Newcastle United so far.
Almiron has made three appearances for the Toon Army since signing from Atlanta United in January, two of which have been starts.
Newcastle have won both matches he started, and drew the game he came off the bench.
Pundit Paul Merson says he is encouraged with Almiron’s early contribution.
He said: “Newcastle have turned the corner, they’re quite entertaining with three up front. Almiron looks a proper player, really quick and lively.
“From Benitez being a manager who makes sure they don’t lose, he’s now going out with Almiron, Rondon and Perez and can have a go at teams.”
Merson is predicting that Newcastle and West Ham will draw this weekend.
Almiron is yet to show his best form, and there is so much more to come from him.
Newcastle are up to 13th in the table, with their wins lifting them six points above the relegation zone.
