Arsenal have been linked with a swoop for the Atlanta United midfielder.

Almiron is one of the most talented players in the MLS and it’s seen him touted for a switch to the Emirates Stadium as Aaron Ramsey’s replacement.

And it appears a move to the Premier League could now be on for the Paraguay star - but not to north London.

That’s after journalist Alan Nixon revealed on Twitter than Almiron is instead being lined up for a switch to Newcastle.

When asked by a Newcastle fan if he had any news about the club, Nixon replied: “Trying to get a price for Almiron.”

Almiron has been at Atlanta since the franchise was formed in 2016.

Before then he played for Cerro Porteno and Lanus in his homeland.

The attacking midfielder moved to America for fee in the region of $8m (£6m), and his value has only risen since then.

Newcastle look likely to dip into the transfer market in January to help out Rafa Benitez, whose squad a St James’ Park are struggling near the foot of the Premier League table.

The Toon are in 17th, and only picked up their first win of the campaign last weekend when they beat Watford 1-0 at home.

Newcastle have six points from 11 games, and will look to pull clear of the drop zone tomorrow when they host in-form Bournemouth in their final game before the international break.

Bournemouth will hand a late fitness test to Joshua King ahead of the Premier League game in the north-east.

The Norway international has missed the Cherries' last three matches due to an ankle injury but has returned to training this week.

Manager Eddie Howe has no fresh selection issues and could stick with the same team which were narrowly beaten by Manchester United.

Bournemouth squad: Begovic, Boruc, Francis, S. Cook, Ake, Mings, Daniels, Smith, Rico, Gosling, Surman, Lerma, L. Cook, Pugh, Fraser, Brooks, Ibe, Stanislas, King, Mousset, Defoe, Wilson.
