Tata Martino talks up Almiron’s Arsenal move

Tata Martino has hailed the quality of Atlanta playmaker and soon-to-be Arsenal player Miguel Almiron.

The Mirror report that the former Barcelona coach was full of praise for the player who is expected to join Arsenal in the January transfer window.

Reports have claimed that the player will leave the MLS in the winter and make the move to the Premier League in a £15 million deal.

Almiron is very highly rated in the MLS and has played a key role in Atlanta’s rise.

Martino believes that when the move does happen, people will finally start to believe in the quality that is in the MLS.

The moment when Miguel Almiron leaves and goes to your country (England) then I think there will be a different view of MLS.

Supporters and pundits from afar have often questioned the quality of the MLS, with many players heading to the States in the latter stages of their careers, rather than players leaving the league in order to make a bigger and better move.

matchday.
