Paraguay international Miguel Almiron is lighting up the Premier League this season.

The Newcastle United attacker has found another dimension to his game, adding goals and assists to his work ethic of previous campaigns.

Per data collected by Chronicle Live, Almiron is also the Premier League's top sprinter so far this term.

Almiron has managed 356 sprints so far this season, helping his side to third in the league table.

Almiron is a key aspect of manager Eddie Howe's intense and high-octane system, which requires pressing from the front.

He has 69 more sprints than the next person on the list, Bournemouth's Marcus Tavernier.
