The important message for Miguel Almiron after Eddie Howe unlocks his best Newcastle United form

Eddie Howe has told man of the moment Miguel Almiron to simply keep on "enjoying" his football with Newcastle United.

The playmaker is having a wonderful start to the 2022/23 campaign and has already trebled his goal account from last season after reaching six strikes. Miggy is now just two goals shy of his best ever tally in a season for Newcastle (8) but Howe is not setting any targets for the exciting South American star.

With Almiron revelling in Howe's 4-3-3 formation, the Toon head coach said: "He has to just keep enjoying his football which clearly he does and he is.

"He must not over analyse himself and just be free. I think Miggy is best when he is playing to his strengths which is all action and energy to cover every blade of grass.

"I think good things have happened off the back of that for him."

Almiron picked up another man of the match award in the 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur on a night in which he scored another quality goal.

Howe said: "He has ended up scoring some spectacular goals and I certainly don’t expect him to do that every week. I was just as happy with his tap-in against Fulham than I was with the outstanding goals he has scored from distance.

"As they are much easier to replicate. He has got good balance to his game at the moment and I just urge him to keep enjoying his football."
