Bruno Guimaraes has lifted the lid on Lucas Paqueta wearing a black and white Newcastle shirt in his garden.
The duo are “brothers” from their Lyon days and Paqueta visited his Brazilian team mate in the summer. Late in May they were pictured by neighbours playing football, with Paqueta wearing a Toon shirt, firming up rumours he is on Eddie Howe’s summer shopping list.
Guimaraes, likely to be Newcastle’s talisman this season, this week told MirrorFootball he would “love it” to see Paqueta wearing the strip for real. Newcastle are bidding for attacking reinforcements and tabled a £40m-plus bid for Leicester James Maddison this week, which was rejected.
