Almiron

Jack Grealish took a sly dig at Miguel Almiron during Manchester City's title celebrations back in May but the Newcastle United star has been in sensational ...

Grealish has started just four of City's league games this term and has only completed the full 90 minutes once for Pep Guardiola's side. Grealish sent a subtle dig at Almiron following City's title win after he claimed that Riyad Mahrez "played like Almiron" in their 3-2 win over Aston Villa. This fella is a different player and the man that’s motivated it is not just Eddie Howe, it's Jack Grealish." The goalkeeper throws his arms out again but he should do better Hugo. Almiron's finish against Spurs showed someone who is playing at the top of his game, with the winger dribbling past Clement Lenglet, before calmly slotting the ball beyond Hugo Lloris. It was a result that lifted Eddie Howe's side into the top-four as Newcastle continued their impressive start to the campaign.

The Manchester City midfielder poked fun at Almiron after their Premier League title win in May.

You always tell people to go at defenders with pace and, when he does that, you know what is on his mind when he’s in this vein of form. He said: “The form this man is in is scintillating. He picks it up and goes at pace. This guy is a different player, the man who’s motivated him is not just Eddie Howe, it’s Jack Grealish.” Another goal against Tottenham Hotspur took his tally for the season to six, meaning 38% of his Premier League goals have been scored this season. With the confidence this lad has, he wouldn’t have done that last season.

Miguel Almiron has been taking the Premier League by storm this season and a certain Manchester City player's comments may have provoked the boost in form.

They took points from both City and United this season, as well as overseeing a triumphant 2-1 win away to Tottenham Hotspur. However, this season the Paraguayan has racked up significantly more goal contributions than the £100 million City star. Miguel Almiron has been taking the Premier League by storm this season and a certain Manchester City player’s comments may have provoked the boost in form.

Jamie Carragher has explained how Manchester City star Jack Grealish has "motivated" Newcastle United's Miguel Almiron to hit top form.

“You can’t under-estimate the quality of the goals that he’s delivered for us. “Of course, then you want product from your wide-men, you want goals, assists. “For me, he’s given me everything from day one, very committed to the team. “I don’t know if he’s doing anything differently. I think he’s playing with confidence. The goalkeeper throws his arms out again but he should do better Hugo.

Almirón and Joelinton are the two South Americans making United and Liverpool sweat over UCL qualification.

The key moment in Joelinton’s revival came under current boss Howe, who moved him away from the front line and into a deeper midfield position. His arrival from Hoffenheim in 2019 was met with anticipation but quickly turned to disappointment before fading into apathy, as the striker make a name for himself as an unproductive, clumsy forward whose eye for goal got lost somewhere on the journey from Germany. Joelinton, the man who ´Toon´ fans once loathed and berated, has become a key fixture in Eddie Howe’s side, providing both goals and assists for the team. Behind the Paraguayan is the presence of a commanding midfield that offers a reassuring sense of both protection and flair; Almirón can burst forward when he likes as Bruno Guimarães patrols behind. Since the comment, Grealish has scored a total of 1 goal in the Premier League, taking his City tally up to 4 since 2021. He slips the ball under the legs of Lloris and wheels away, eyebrows sky-high in disbelief (or maybe this expression is simply how he is able to see your thoughts).

Miguel Almiron is enjoying a purple patch of form currently at Newcastle after the Magpies entered the Premier League top four following victories over ...

“I don’t think I’ve noticed a difference in his character. [MLS](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/latest/mls) side Atlanta United just a month later in December but that has done little to stifle their affection. He’s a real team player and he’s getting the recognition that he deserves. After his winner against Everton, Howe responded to a question over whether Jack Grealish's jibe last season has helped Almiron find a new gear. The 25-year-old has just shy of 250,000 followers on Instagram while her TikTok page has nearly a million likes. That is because cheering him on in the stands at St James' Park is his gorgeous wife Alexia Notto, his childhood sweetheart who first got together since their early teens.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher thinks that Jack Grealish is partly responsible for the outstanding form of Miguel Almiron. The Newcastle United midfiel.
