While Almiron was joining Newcastle last month, Achraf Lazaar was leaving Tyneside to join Championship side Sheffield Wednesday on loan.
The full-back is contracted to Newcastle until 2021, but has not played for the Magpies’ first team since August 2017, and is determined to repay Owls boss Steve Bruce for giving him a chance to resurrect his career at Hillsborough.
“I always think about the present – I never think about tomorrow,” said Lazaar.
“I’m not focused on the future. I am happy at Sheffield Wednesday – they have given me a chance and when someone gives you a chance, you want to repay them.”
