Look away, Newcastle fans. “A verbal agreement” is reached with one of Eddie Howe’s most consistent star.

Newcastle United already know their next major transfer decision for the player Eddie Howe likes.

The Tyneside club has reportedly reached a “verbal agreement” with the Saudi Pro League side for Miguel Almiron.

 

There may have been no games to report on, but the news has not stopped on Tyneside. Transfer speculation is rampant, with chatter escalating concerning incomings and outgoings at St. James’ Park.

 

What was expected to be a quiet weekend became a media frenzy as several of Newcastle United’s key players were linked with moves away.

 

Newcastle ‘verbal agreement’ for Miggy

Newcastle has apparently reached a “verbal agreement” with Saudi Pro League club Al-Shabab for Miguel Almiron. One of several reports in recent days claimed that the 29-year-old could be used as a scapegoat to free up Financial Fair Play funds.

Almiron has been one of Eddie Howe’s success stories since his appointment, but his performances have dipped this season. He turns 30 next month, and now could be the best time to cash in, given Almiron’s low book value since joining five years ago.

 

Reporter Ben Jacobs broke the story that Al-Shabab wanted the winger, and he provided an update last night, claiming Newcastle had reached a “verbal agreement” with the Saudi club. Almiron, who is said to be very happy at Newcastle United,  is ready to stay.
