Miguel Almiron insists he will not crumble under the pressure of being Newcastle’s record signing as he prepares for his first taste of Premier League football.The Paraguay international, 24, completed a 21million switch from Major League Soccer side Atlanta United on deadline day.He could make his debut at Wolves on Monday evening – a match you can listen to live on talkSPORT – and is relishing the opportunity to show what he can do.“I try not to think about the pressure or pay attention to it,” he said.“As players of this club, Newcastle United, which has so much history, that is pressure in itself in terms of wanting to do well.“We know what the fans demand of us, but it doesn’t concern me overly.
