However, back to the here and now and cashing in on Almiron this month would leave Howe down to the bare bones. Harvey Barnes, a winger on the opposite flank to Almiron, will be missing until February, along with central striker Callum Wilson who can only play in one position - through the middle.

Tom Bogert reports that although Atlanta has several targets in mind to reinforce their squad, a reunion with Almirón is a real possibility.

Miguel Almirón is edging closer to a Newcastle United exit this month with clubs in the United States, Brazil and Europe making contact over the winger.

Atlanta United are on the verge of finalizing a deal to bring Miguel Almirón back from Newcastle United, according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein. The MLS club has made a bid of approximately £11 million ($13.
