Newcastle fans finally have something to shout about after the Magpies broke their transfer record to land Miguel Almiron.

The Paraguay international was the star of the season in the MLS, guiding Atlanta United to the MLS Cup thanks to some impressive performances. He was identified by Newcastle as the perfect January signing and the deal was finally closed after weeks of speculation. Almiron penned a long-term contract at St. James Park, joining for a fee of around £20m.

His addition will greatly increase Newcastle’s chances of survival in the Premier League and improve the likelihood of Rafael Benitez staying at the club. The Spaniard has finally been backed in the transfer market which needs to continue in the summer. More investment is needed to get Newcastle challenging at the right end of the table again.

One man Benitez could target in the summer is Basaksehir maestro – Irfan Kahveci. Valued at just £4.5m by Transfermarkt, the midfielder has been a key player for his side since joining in January 2017. Kahveci has been one of the most impressive performers in the Super Lig during his 22 appearances in all competitions this season.

The 23-year-old is a versatile midfielder who can occupy a number of roles in the engine room making him a useful option for Benitez to have at his disposal. Kahveci can play in a defensive midfield position but has the creative ability to be used in a more advanced role up the field. Scoring four goals and registering four assists this season, Kahveci could help unlock Almiron’s potential on Tyneside.

Potentially available at a great price, this move could prove to be a masterstroke.
