The future of Miguel Almiron is currently uncertain with reports saying he's on the chopping block but his agent insisting Newcastle United want to keep him.
Almiron himself is keen to stay at Newcastle after seeing a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab collapse in January.
Whatever the reality may be, there's a strong chance that other clubs will be looking at the 30-year-old this summer and journalist Ben Jacobs has thrown up an interesting name.
Miggy may be destined to leave Newcastle United but Jacobs told the Fully Loaded Transfer Show that he may get a Premier League lifeline.
Newly promoted Ipswich Town could be interested in the Paraguayan helping them survive their first season back in the top flight since 2002 according to Jacobs.
“I’m told that there is Premier League interest in Almiron as well and Ipswich may be one to watch. Ipswich’s number one priority would be to bring in Omari Hutchison from Chelsea, but you just don’t know, things could change.
"Almiron and Ipswich, that one is one to watch.”
Ipswich returned to the Premier League gaining back-to-back promotions under Kieran McKenna.
As impressive as that is, it's probably not going to be enough to convince Wor Miggy to make the move, especially with McKenna likely to leave the Tractor Boys for bigger things this summer.
We have been fairly critical of Almiron in the past, but we think this might be a step too far down the ladder even for Miggy. Sorry to any Ipswich fans who stumble across this - we've got nothing against you.
Stranger things have happened in this game that we love so much, and Almiron to Ipswich wouldn't even break the top 100, but we still can't see it happening, even though we think it would be good for both parties - Miggy could be a superstar at Ipswich.
