Newcastle United Sign Almiron and He Scores 7 Goals in His First Game

Newcastle United has signed Colombian striker Jeison Murillo, known as Almiron, from River Plate. The 26-year-old scored seven goals in his first game for the club on Saturday against Watford.

The signing of Almiron is seen as a significant boost for Newcastle's attack, which has struggled to find its form this season. The Colombian forward had a successful spell at River Plate, scoring 15 goals in 34 appearances last season.

His arrival at St James' Park will be a welcome addition to the team, who have been without a reliable goal scorer up front since the departure of Christian Benteke in January.

Almiron's signing comes just days after the Magpies announced that they would be selling striker Aleksandar Mitrovic to Aston Villa. The move was seen as a major blow to the team's attacking options, but it also provided Newcastle with the opportunity to bring in a new forward.

With Almiron now on board, the Magpies can look forward to another exciting campaign in the Premier League, where they will hope to make a strong push for a top-four finish. The signing of Almiron could well be the start of a positive turn for Newcastle United, as they aim to compete at the highest level once again.
