Saka injury a blessing in disguise for Newcastle

The Gunners will almost certainly be without Bukayo Saka in the next few games as he picked up a hamstring injury during the Champions League match against Lens on Tuesday.

The player has played over 85 consecutive EPL games for the Gunners and have been in demand by his team for a long time.

It Is understood that the player is one of the best right wingers in the World, if not the best, but playing him too much will ultimately have an effect in his overall game output.

Freddie Ljunberg in s statement questioned the player management skill of Mikel Arteta, as he insinuated that the Spanish coach as overused Bukayo Saka in that role.

However, that is where Miguel Almiron comes in. The Newcastle United winger is a joy to watch, is dribbling, flair and ability to score goals is a joy to watch.

3 reasons why Arsenal should sign Miguel Almiron.

1. Scoring abilities.
It is no news that Miguel Almiron is a good goal scorer. The player was immense for the Newcastle against PSG as he opened the scoring in the 4-1 victory over PSG .

2. His dribbling qualities
His favorite left foot can cut through defenses and open play as well as create play in the game.
The winger is quick, sharp and can add attacking flair to the Gunners attack.

3. His winning mentality
For Arsenal to transform from title challengers to title winners, they need someone who has a winning mentality and Miguel Almiron fits into this role.

The Newcastle winger was part of the team that helped Newcastle United return to the UCL as they finished the campaign in 4th place of the table.

It Is very clear that Arsenal need a player that can support Saka at the right wing, and Miguel Almiron is one player that can add quality in the Emirates.
JAMAAL LASCELLES didn’t fancy a post-match natter with Kylian Mbappe after having him in his back pocket for 90-plus minutes.

The Newcastle skipper marked the World Cup winner out of the game in their famous Champions League rout of the French giants on Wednesday night.
Mbappe’s shirt is the most sought-after by opposition players after the final whistle blows.

Toon and England defender Kieran Trippier landed the coveted top, which Lascelles couldn’t haven given a monkey’s about getting his hands on.

The centre-back said: “I thought, ‘I’m not even going to bother asking for it.’”

Lascelles, 29, was happy to make do with the top of his PSG counterpart Marquinhos.

He said: “I got Marquinhos, so that’s not far off Mbappe, I’ll take that.”

A conversation with Mbappe wasn’t high on Lascelles’ list of things to do after their duel either.

“I didn’t even want to talk to him (Mbappe),” he said. “The only talking he was going to get was something aggressive.”

Newcastle ran out 4-1 winners at St James’ Park thanks to goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and a wonder strike from Fabian Schar.
“To play against players like that is crazy, really,” Lascelles said. “And credit to everyone involved tonight.”

Eddie Howe’s Magpies currently top Group F with four points after their first two games back in Europe’s elite club competition in 20 years.

The manager said: “It was an amazing evening for us, so many stories to talk about within the game.

“I am delighted for the club and the supporters, what they gave us tonight was incredible.
“They [PSG] are such a good team we had to defend really well and our spirit was brilliant.
“We created the positive things in the first half and the aggressive pressing which is a hallmark of ours.”
