Miguel Almirón grew up in poverty in Asunción and was once dismissed as too frail, but he forced his way through Cerro Porteño's academy and won a title at Lanús. A move to Atlanta United made him an MLS star, and a then-club-record £21m transfer took him to Newcastle United, where he won Premier League Player of the Month and scored the club's first Champions League goal in two decades. Back at Atlanta and Paraguay's most-capped attacker, he is the creative heartbeat of the 2026 team.
- Scored Newcastle's first Champions League goal in over 20 years, against PSG
- Was Newcastle's record signing at around £21m when he joined in 2019
- Named MLS Newcomer of the Year in 2017
