Almiron to complete Newcastle move in a ‘few hours’
Miguel Almiron is expected to finalise his move to Newcastle United in the next ‘few hours’, according to reports.
Sports journalist Bruno Pont explains that a deal is in its final stages and could be completed very soon.

Almiron has been heavily linked with Newcastle and it now appears that it is a case of when and not if the player joins Rafa Benitez’s side.
The Paraguayan international will join up with the Newcastle squad in January and will hope to add a creative spark that the Magpies have been missing this season.
Arsenal were tipped to sign the player in the new year, but Newcastle have stolen the march on other potential suitors in the race to snap him up from Atlanta United.
The deal is expected to cost around £15 million, but it remains unclear as to whether or not he’ll arrive on loan with an option to buy or join permanently.
