Hopeful supporters believe Bruno Guimaraes’ mother wearing a Newcastle United shirt is a “good omen” for the future. The Magpies’ midfielder has been a revelation since arriving on Tyneside in January.
An integral part of Newcastle’s turnaround under Eddie Howe, the 25-year-old has quickly adapted to life in England and become a fans’ favourite at St James’ Park. Guimaraes - currently on international duty with Brazil at the World Cup - has spoken about the mutual love from supporters in countless interviews.
He told FourFourTwo two months ago: “It’s a dream come true to be playing in the Premier League. Everything is amazing. Sometimes I think to myself, ‘I was born for this, for the Premier League’. I already feel at home here.
