Agent: Miguel Almiron Will Play in the Premier League Amid Arsenal, Spurs Links

Christopher SimpsonNov 13, 2018

Atlanta United star Miguel Almiron will play Premier League football amid speculation linking him with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, according to his agent.ย 

Per Goal, the north London duo as well as West Ham United are rumoured to be interested in the Paraguayan playmaker, and his representative Daniel Campos is adamant his client will swap the USA for England.

He told AM 1080 in Paraguay (h/t Goal): "There is interest in Almiron and Oscar Romero. I'm in the process of working on England, there are two or three clubs interested in Almiron.ย There's nothing concrete but certainly Almiron will play in the Premier League."

Per football writer and podcaster Roberto Rojas, Campos also said he attended Newcastle United's 2-1 win over Bournemouth last Saturday:

Almiron would likely be out of the Magpies' price range, but Arsenal or Spurs should be able to afford him.

Per Goal, amid rumours linking Arsenal with an ยฃ11 million move for Almiron,ย Atlanta United presidentย Darren Eales told 92.9 The Game in October:ย "It would have to take at least triple that for me to even get out of bed and think about any bids for Almiron."

While it's clear he won't be available cheaply should any Premier League clubs pursue him in January, it's little wonder he is attracting their interest.

A superb year for the 24-year-old has seen him return 13 goals and as many assists in 35 games.

On Sunday, he scored to help Atlanta beat New York City FC and secure a place in MLS' Eastern Conference finals:

As Rojas demonstrated, he has been a key performer for Atlanta since his arrival at the club last year:

Arsenal have relatively little need for another creative playmaker in their side given they already have Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil in the side, but he looks to be a fine option if either were to move on.

As for Spurs, having failed to sign a single player in the summer, they could use an injection of both quality and depth in their squad, and Almiron could provide just that.
