The Newcastle United Football Club has signed Argentine striker, Lucas Almiron on loan for the rest of the season.
Almiron is a product of Argentina's Primera División and has already scored 15 goals in his last 27 appearances for his country. He was also named as one of the best young players in Europe by Sky Sports.
The signing comes after Newcastle United were left without a striker ahead of the new year with injuries to both Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck. The club have been looking for a replacement for their injured striker but were unable to find anyone who could step up to the challenge.
However, Almiron's impressive performances for Argentina at the World Cup have made him a clear target for the club. With the transfer window currently closed, it seems that the club have found a way to secure Almiron's services for the rest of the season.
Almiron will be hoping to use his experience and skill to help Newcastle United reach their full potential this season. The Argentine international is known for his dribbling skills and his ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates.
He has already impressed with his performances for Argentina and has shown that he can be a valuable asset to the team if he can get the right opportunity.
The move from Newcastle United to Almiron is likely to see him make a big impact on the club's attacking line. With the club having no other options, they may look to sign another striker or perhaps even try and recruit another talented player.
Overall, the signing of Almiron is a positive development for Newcastle United and will add another important piece of the puzzle to their attack. With the transfer window now closed, there is still time for the club to find a solution to the problem of a striker who is missing out on the action.
