Bruno Guimarães' football fan girlfriend Ana Lídia Martins cheers him on in Brazil after NUFC move

Don't be surprised to see Bruno Guimarães' Ana Lídia Martins girlfriend in the stands at St James' Park in the not too distant future as she's a massive football fan who has been cheering him on in Brazil this week.

Newcastle United fans were delighted earlier this week, when, after a few days of speculation linking the highly rated midfielder with a move from Lyon to the Magpies, the move was finally confirmed, with him signing for a reported fee of £33m.

NUFC beat off rumoured competition from the likes of Arsenal and Juventus for the Brazilian, who's been in World Cup qualifying action with his national side this week.

He made a key assist as Brazil made light work of their South American counterparts, defeating them 4-0 and Ana was in the stands, proudly sporting a Brazil shirt as she cheered Bruno and the rest of the side on at the Mineiro Stadium in Belo Horizonte.

Nutritionist Ana, 24, and Bruno, also 24, have been an item since 2020, enjoying lavish trips away, including a jaunt to Paris where they posed in front of the Eiffel Tower, a skiing holiday in Courchevel - one of the world's most glamorous ski resorts.

On Bruno's birthday last year, Ana posted a series of photos of them together and wrote a lengthy caption in Portugese, which, when translated to English, began: "Today I look at the boy I met and I'm proud of the man he's become! Always kind (sometimes too much), generous, humble, determined… damn how lucky I am to be loved by you! You are unique and special to me and so many people! And that's why I say it's just impossible not to like you!"

The post ended: "May you make your dreams come true and may I always have the luck to live by your side! Happy birthday, my love, my life! You annoy me all the time, but I can't live without you at all!!! I LOVE YOU FOREVER"

In a another Instagram post of her wearing a Brazil top with Bruno's name on the back, Ana wrote: "How much emotion… my Brazil, my love...inexplicable feeling!!!"

If she does come over to Newcastle to cheer Bruno on, Ana could well enjoy the company of Charlotte Trippier, wife on NUFc's other big January signing Kieran, after she strongly hinted she was moving from Madrid earlier this week.
