Bruno Guimaraes has admitted he'd love his close friend Lucas Paqueta to join him at St. James' Park, but admits that's out of his control. Newcastle have been repeatedly linked with a move for the Brazilian, after he was spotted wearing a black and white shirt in Bruno's garden earlier this summer.
The Magpies are looking to add some additional creativity and goals in the final third and the Lyon playmaker has emerged as a genuine contender. Eddie Howe's side have also been linked with the likes of James Maddison, Maxwel Cornet and Jack Harrison.
Speaking to the Mirror, Guimaraes said: “Paqueta in black and white again? It is difficult to say. I would love that! But I don’t work in this area. I am a player. I invited him and we play together in my garden. It was only this.”
