Fulham ‘preparing bid’ for £20m man Newcastle look set to cash in on this summer - Report

According to The Northern Echo, newly promoted Fulham are preparing a bid for Miguel Almiron - who looks likely to leave the club this summer.

The Paraguayan enjoyed a lengthy spell in the starting line-up due to injuries to both Allan Saint-Maximin and Ryan Fraser in recent months and has shown glimpses of form.

Despite his best efforts, the 28-year-old has only managed to score one goal this season - albeit a goal of the season contender - and backroom staff, including Eddie Howe, are said to be concerned about his lack of end product.

Following rumours that we could be in the market for Bayer Leverkusen star Moussa Diaby, it feels like Almiron could be moved on to raise funds, with Napoli also linked with a move for the former MLS star.

While his work rate and determination is nothing short of world class, he has proven to lack the technical ability that will be needed if we want to take that next step into the top eight of the Premier League.
