That fantastic form has been in large part down to Alexander Isak, who Newcastle are hoping to agree a new contract with soon.
Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon have made up the rest of an excellent attacking trio that has scored 42 goals in 24 Premier League games this season.
Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes has sent a message to his ex-teammate on social media after a January transfer.
Miguel Almiron re-joined Atlanta United after emotional Newcastle goodbyes in January, bringing an end to a seven-year spell in the North East of England.
Eddie Howe admitted the deal to sell Almiron was due to Newcastle PSR concerns, calling the winger “top class” before his transfer to the MLS.
Almiron’s wonderful form in the 2022/23 season helped propel the club to a fourth-place finish as they qualified for the Champions League, as he wrote his name into Newcastle folklore.
The Magpies have struggled to remain compliant with PSR, Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh were sold to Nottingham Forest and Brighton to escape punishment from the Premier League, last summer.

Guimaraes took the time to send a heartfelt message to the Paraguayan, posting on his Instagram story, saying: “Feliz cumpleanos hermano!! Te extrano. Lo mejor en tu vida mi amigo.” which translates from Spanish to: “Happy birthday brother!! I miss you. [Wishing you] The best in your life my friend.”
The Brazilian midfielder has become a much-loved player on Tyneside, for his combative play-style and underrated knack for scoring important goals.
Guimaraes joined from French side Lyon in January 2022 for a reported fee of £40million, and has helped turn the side into one of England’s most dangerous teams.
