When Newcastle signed Miguel Almiron from Major League Soccer nearly four years ago, there was a YouTube video compiled by his friend that served to justify the £21million record outlay and excite fans.
Until this season, that showreel remained the best example of his potential. Now, there is no need to scour the video archives as his talent is broadcast weekly.
Take Sunday’s Match of the Day 2, when Goal of the Month featured two of Almiron’s strikes — bafflingly, not a third — and the highlights which followed included another of his goals during Newcastle’s 4-1 win at Southampton.
