Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes believes Eddie Howe and Newcastle United are utilising his skillset better than his former club Lyon did. Since his arrival in January, Guimaraes has had a transformative effect upon Newcastle's performances on the pitch.
While true Howe and the rest of the Magpies squad deserve masses of credit for their 2022 calendar results, there's no doubt that Guimaraes is the player who makes Newcastle tick.
The Brazilian international is the heartbeat of Howe's Newcastle, serving as their chief creator. During his time in Ligue 1, Lyon utilised Guimaraes as more of a ball winner than a progressive passer.
