Bruno Guimaraes has already helped sell Newcastle to transfer targets as 'pull' of club revealed

Newcastle United players and staff quickly realised that Bruno Guimaraes was a gifted footballer following the Brazil international's mid-season move from Lyon. However, what struck the dressing room the most was how Bruno transformed from a friendly team-mate off the field to one who would do anything to even win a training game.

You can't put a price on that mentality. It was why Bruno was prepared to gamble and sprint 82 yards at the death on Sunday in the hope of getting on the end of Joe Willock's cross. That decision ended up winning Newcastle the game against Leicester City.

It was another man of the match display from Bruno and the midfielder led the way for goals (two), shots on target (four), touches in the opposition box (five), dribbles (seven), pressures (30) and distance covered (11.6km) in the Magpies' 2-1 win.
