Many people will think that the top players go to that League just before their retirement. So, the quality of the League will not be up to the mark. Miguel Almiron is going to break this misconception amongst the people as he is one of the most talented young midfielders in the World right now.
Miguel Almiron has joined Atlanta United in the winter transfer window of 2016-17 season from his previous club Lanus with a transfer fee worth £7m. Since then, Almiron has scored 21 goals for Atlanta United in his 62 appearances in all competitions so far. The 24 year old young midfielder has also made 12 appearances for Paraguay National football team since 2015. So, certainly the player has some potential which has attracted the club management of the Gunners. So, ‘Arsenalcore’ will analyse how Miguel Almiron can be really influential for this Arsenal side under the management of Unai Emery.
