Ince impressed by Miguel Almiron on full Newcastle debut

Former England midfielder Paul Ince was impressed by Miguel Almiron on his full Newcastle United debut.

Almiron shone in their win over Huddersfield.

Ince described Almiron as a "wonderful" player, saying: “He did really well considering it was his debut and playing at a big massive stadium like Newcastle but he looked like he'd been there all of his life.

“They paid £20million for him from Atlanta and he contributed everything you'd want from a debut. Everything he did in the game came off and the only thing missing was a goal.

"He's got a trick, he's wonderfully gifted technically but he's got a trick. He deserved a goal but there was a very good no look pass in to Perez who scored."

And describing the impact the new player had on the Toon faithful, Ince said: “The Newcastle faithful gave him a standing ovation and he was outstanding.

"He's one for the future and he got a pat on the back from Rafa who will be delighted he's spent some of Ashley's money on a very good player."
