Newcastle United are keen on snapping up Paraguayan midfielder Miguel Almiron, who is also of interest to West Ham United.

Almiron is currently on the books at Major League Soccer side Atlanta United in the United States, but could be on the move this summer.




The 24-year-old has caught the eye with his performances and, according to the Guardian, is wanted by Newcastle.

It is claimed West Ham also hold an interest in Almiron.
 


However, no bids have yet to be made for the midfielder and MLS side Atlanta are claimed to value him at around the £20m mark.

The American side only landed Almiron last year, snapping him up from Argentine club Lanus.

Almiron has been capped on 13 occasions by Paraguay.
