Newcastle United Signs Manchester City Forward Almiron, Scores 7 Goals in First Game

Newcastle United have announced the signing of Colombian forward Jeison Almiron from Manchester City for an undisclosed fee.

The 26-year-old has been with City since 2015 and has made over 200 appearances for the club, scoring 48 goals. However, he struggled to make an impact at the Etihad Stadium and was eventually shipped out on loan to both Fulham and Crystal Palace last season.

Almiron's move to Newcastle is a significant coup for the Magpies, who were in dire need of a striker after losing top scorer Callum Wilson to Aston Villa in January.

In his first appearance for the club, Almiron scored seven goals in just under an hour against Championship side Bournemouth. His performances have seen him hailed as one of the best signings of the summer transfer window.

Almiron's arrival will be a major boost for the team, who have struggled to find their form this season. With the likes of Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser out injured, Almiron will be key to Newcastle's hopes of securing a place in Europe next season.

Overall, Almiron's move to Newcastle could prove to be a game-changer for the club and could see them challenge for promotion from the Premier League. The Colombian forward is already proving his worth in his first outing for the club and it looks like he could become a vital part of the team going forward.
