• Paraguay winger back in US after six years on Tyneside
• Four-and-a-half year contract agreed with Atlanta

Miguel Almirón has left Newcastle and is bound for the US to sign for his former club Atlanta for a fee of around £9.5m.

The Paraguay winger has agreed personal terms and subject to a medical will sign for the team he left six years ago. Newcastle's then manager, Rafael Benítez, was delighted to acquire Almirón for £21m in 2019 and his time on Tyneside has largely been successful.
