Miguel Almiron has been linked with Newcastle and Tottenham among others.
Atlanta United took a huge step towards the MLS Cup on Sunday night as they hammered New York Red Bulls 3-0 at home.
Gerardo Martino’s side saw off New York City FC in the Conference semi-finals to reach this stage, and were confronted with another team from The Big Apple in the Red Bulls.
It wasn’t much of a contest though; star striker Josef Martinez put Atlanta United in front, before a fine pass from playmaker Miguel Almiron ended with Franco Escobar making it 2-0.
Hector Villalba secured the win with a late third, meaning Atlanta already have one foot in the MLS Cup, where they would face either the Portland Timbers or Sporting Kansas City.
It could be a dream end for playmaker Almiron, as he is expected to leave the club in January having starred in Major League Soccer this season with 13 goals and 13 assists in 35 appearances.
The Paraguayan could bring the MLS Cup to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium before heading away, with a move to England seemingly on the cards.
The Sun report that Newcastle United are attempting to secure his signature in January, but Everton and West Ham are also keen, with The Chronicle noting that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are also speaking to his agent.
After his performance in such a big game last night, fans took to Twitter to praise his display, with some Newcastle and Spurs fans keen to see him sign, believing that he could save the Magpies’ season if he does arrive on Tyneside in January.
